  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter unsalted and softened

Instructions
 

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to (350 °F). Butter a 20-cm (8-inch) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In a third bowl, beat the remaining sugar, butter, egg yolks, and vanilla with an electric mixer. At low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the oat milk. Stir a quarter of the meringue into the batter to lighten it. With a spatula, gently fold in the remaining meringue. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Unmould immediately and let completely cool on a wire rack.

Vanilla Strawberries

  • Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. With the tip of a knife, remove the seeds from the vanilla pod. In a bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar and vanilla extract. Set aside.

Whipped Cream

  • In a bowl, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Assembly

  • Cut the cake in half horizontally to make two slices. Spread 1 cup of the whipped cream on the cut side of each slice. Scatter the drained vanilla strawberries on the whipped cream of a slice of cake. Cover with the other slice of cake whipped cream side down. Garnish the top of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
