Method

Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 23 cm (w) x 30 cm (l) x 4 cm (h) pan with baking paper, leaving flaps on either side to easily remove the cake from the pan. Grease with non-stick spray.

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add 60 ml of the sugar while beating until the egg whites become stiff. Set aside.

Beat the egg yolks and the remaining sugar together until pale yellow and thick. Add the milk and vanilla essence and mix through.

Add the egg yolk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until combined. Add the egg whites and fold in.

Pour into the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Using the baking paper flaps, lift the cake out of the pan and place on a cooling rack.

Once cooled, cut off the edges and carefully remove the top and bottom brown layer. Use a skewer to pierce the surface of the cake several times.

Sauce:
Mix the evaporated milk, condensed milk and cream together. Pour half of the sauce slowly over the cake. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving.

Allow the cake to absorb the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Then spread the jam on top of the cake.

Topping:
Gently mix the mascarpone, cream, vanilla essence and castor sugar together. Place dollops on top of the cake and spread out evenly. Decorate with strawberries.

Cut the cake into squares and serve with the remaining sauce.
