Sponge Cake
3 large eggs, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tsp lemon juice
½ tsp finely grated lemon zest
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
½ tsp vanilla extract
Mousse
2 egg whites, at room temperature
2 Tbsp gelatin powder
⅓ cup sugar
¾ cup cold water, divided
2 cup puréed and strained fresh strawberries (about 4 cups sliced)
1 ½ cup whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cup whole, hulled strawberries
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325 F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, but do not grease the pan.
2. Whip the eggs and sugar on high speed until they are almost white in colour, more than triple in volume and hold a ribbon when the beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes. On medium speed, add the zest and juice.
3. Sift the flour and salt and, still on medium speed, add the flour. Spoon about a cup of the batter into a bowl, and stir in the melted butter and vanilla. Add this all back to the full batter and stir until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until the centre of the cake springs back when gently pressed. Cool the cake completely in the pan.
4. For the mousse, whip the egg whites just until past foamy and set aside. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over ½ cup of water, stir and set aside. Bring the sugar and the remaining ¼ cup of the water to a boil and boil without stirring until it reaches 240 ?F on a candy thermometer. While whisking egg whites on medium speed, pour the sugar slowly and carefully down the side of the bowl and, once all added, increase the speed to high, whipping for 30 seconds to a minute, just until the whites hold a soft peak but are still hot. Beat in the gelatin until it has dissolved into the whites, then continue to beat until the mixture cools to room temperature. Whisk in the strawberry purée.
5. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until it holds a soft peak and add the vanilla. Fold this into the strawberry mixture using a whisk, and folding it in 2 additions.
6. To assemble, run a palette knife round the inside edge of the sponge cake pan and remove the cake, peeling away the parchment paper. Wash the pan, reassemble and place the cake layer back in the bottom of the pan. Slice the hulled strawberries in half and place them on the cake so that the flat side of each berry is pressed up against the ring of the pan, and they are very close together. Pour the mousse over the cake and berries and chill until set, at least 4 hours. Top the cake with any remaining strawberry halves right before serving.

I just made this for my grand daughter 16 Birthday. This is a great cake. The mousse is light and the taste is so delicious!! I also made the cheese cake and added it to the bottom. I made it into a strawberry mousse cheesecake birthday and it was great!! Thank you. I just knew how to post a picture of my cake to show it off. Mahalo for great receipes.

I made this strawberry torte yesterday. I recommend that you make the strawberry puree first and save it so it's ready when called for then make the shortcake. I put the shortcake in the refrigerator so it was cool when I added the strawberry mousse. To make the puree use a food processor and then strain the seeds out with a fine strainer. I mixed the gelatin in the water like in the direactions but I took too much time preparing the strawberry puree. The gelatin set up on me and as a result wasn't in a usable form for the strawberry mousse. A key point is that you definitely want to keep the finished shortcake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. My strawberry shortcake Frasier torte looked exactly like Ms. Olson's picture for about 30 seconds before the mousse oozed over the sides of the shortcake and onto the table. Minor disaster but big mess. My fault - didn't have proper gelatin and didn't leave in refrigerator long enough. Taste wise I prefer angel food cake with strawberries in store bough strawberry glaze topped with whip cream. My wife and coworkers liked the Frasier torte. I'll likely try it again but will make sure the gelatin is not completely set up before using.

I Love Strawberries So Much. Yesterday was my Grandsons 7th Birthday and I made Strawberry Cupcakes. I knew I should have put them away but it was so late and I was exhausted so I just covered them with a clean Dish towel. When my daughter got it the next morning, she had Cayenne Pepper flavored Cupcakes along with little decorative beads, a whole bottle. He is special needs but he did make the hole in the middle if each cupcake. I can tell he is learning although I generally use a tool to take the cake piece out and he just smooshed it down firmly. It’s off to the Bakery for us to buy Cupcakes, without CAYENNE PEPPER THIS TIME! I love watching your channels. I learn a lot. Thanks Irish Jilli

[@ohyum]

Ha ha! love the story Jill. Obviously, your grandson enjoys being in the kitchen and putting the final touches on the masterpiece.

[@dishatahiliani9253]

U are splendid!

[@belitega]

Love frasier torte. Yours looked so delicious .

[@sergel02]

I like how your showcase different levels and difficulties on some of your recipes like this. Like at the beginning you showed how this was like the third level of strawberry shortcake. It helps me know which recipes might be too difficult for me at the moment.

[@analaurasoto3541]

I love you Anna

[@pranjal2391]

I noticed that the cooking time for this sponge cake and the Strawberries and cream Sponge cake is the same (40mins). I think it should be around 20-25 mins as this is half the amount of cake.

[@chodemonsters7140]

Tasty

[@user-el3zx8iq9t]

اي كجا بودي 💙 I love me

[@lilly4495]

OH YUMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🍰🍰🍰🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

[@ardemisaguirre8088]

😋😋😋😋😋

[@jacmusic1111]

Anna, is it better to always bake with electric stovetop and oven as opposed to gas stovetop and oven? Thanks!

[@ohyum]

You can use either. One isn't better than the other - just what you are most comfortable with.

[@jacmusic1111]

Oh Yum with Anna Olson - Thank you!

[@karldelavigne8134]

It would be much safer to line the sides of the tin with a strip of silicone paper.

[@denizakdag3748]

I try this recipe today and i think strawberry mousse and the sponge cake are incompatible together. Cake is good but strawberry mousse is like strawberry yoghurt

[@ahmedkamal-vf9rv]

👍🏽👍🏽😍

[@2005arijitghosh]

Since this is a thinner sponge, will it still need 40 min? I tried this and it turned into rubber, not sure why!

[@darcy031685]

What does she do with all of these extra batches she makes?

[@devroz123]

Give them away haha

[@luv2cook5]

darcy031685 i think she owns a bakery she's a professional baker.

[@ohyum]

Actually, the crew gets to try it first. They have been looking at it all day through the lease. Then whatever is left is giving out to other organizations in need. Nothing is thrown away.

[@luv2cook5]

Oh Yum with Anna Olson that's good i thought you owned a bakery. 😊

[@MsBethanyClaire]

Oh Yum with Anna Olson Oh, ok, thank you! Keep up the good work!

[@sujatag6282]

Frasier? Not Fraisier?

[@europeanguy8773]

Those strawberries look so artificial, real strawberries shouldn't have a white core coated by an orangy color. Real strawberries have a dark deep red inside the and middle should be red/pink -
