Bon's Special Heart-Shaped Sponge Cake

Step 1: Beat egg whites until stiff and then add 3/4 cup of caster sugar and a pinch of salt, being careful not to overbeat.

Step 3: Sif dry ingredients together three times and very gently fold through into egg mixture.

Step 4: Pour into two greased and floured heart-shape lined cake tins.

Step 5: Cook in a pre-heated moderate oven (170C) for at least 20 minutes.

Step 6: They will come right up to the top of the tin, don't be tempted to take out early or they will sink.

Step 7: Leave to cool for a couple of minutes before turning out on to a rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Cut each cake in half, and spread with strawberry jam and cream and then cream the top and sides and decorate with fresh strawberries.
