Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

For the base:
- 6 fresh eggs
- 12 tablespoons of sugar
- 12 tablespoons of flour
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder

For the cream:
- 1 packet of vanilla cream (preferably a high-quality mix)
- 300 g of whipped cream

For soaking:
- Strawberry syrup (or your favorite fruit syrup)

For the glaze:
- 1 jar of strawberry jam (make sure it is high quality for a smooth glaze)

Preparing the bases:

1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. It is essential that the bowl in which you will beat the egg whites is completely dry and clean; any trace of fat can prevent achieving a perfect foam.

2. Mixing the yolks: In a bowl, add the yolks, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Beat these ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture becomes light in color and has a creamy consistency.

3. Beating the egg whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. It is important to beat them until they form stiff peaks, but be careful not to overbeat them, or they will become brittle.

4. Incorporating the ingredients: With a spatula, gradually add the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture, gently folding to retain the air in the foam. Then, sift the flour mixed with the baking powder and gradually incorporate it into the mixture.

5. Baking: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour the mixture evenly. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the base for 25 minutes. The toothpick test is essential: if the toothpick comes out clean, the base is ready.

6. Cooling the bases: Remove the base from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting it into two equal parts.

Preparing the cream:

7. Vanilla cream: Follow the instructions on the packet to prepare the vanilla cream. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better homogenization.

8. Whipping the cream: In another bowl, whip the cream until it becomes firm. This will add a light and airy texture to the cake.

9. Combining the ingredients: Once the vanilla cream is ready, add the whipped cream and gently mix with a spatula, being careful not to lose the air.

Assembling the cake:

10. Soaking the base: Start by placing the first part of the base on a platter. Soak the bottom well with strawberry syrup to add moisture and a delicious taste.

11. Adding the cream: Spread a generous layer of vanilla cream over the base. Use a spatula to smooth the cream.

12. Adding the whipped cream: Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the cream, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

13. Finalizing the assembly: Carefully place the second half of the base over the whipped cream layer. Soak again with strawberry syrup.

14. Glazing: In a saucepan, heat the strawberry jam until it becomes fluid. If necessary, blend it to achieve a smooth glaze. Pour the warm jam over the cake and spread it evenly.

15. Cooling: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours before serving, to firm up and blend the flavors.

Serving suggestions: The DENY Cake can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some fresh fruits for a delicious contrast. Also, a cup of coffee or aromatic tea would perfectly complement this dessert.

Nutritional benefits: This cake, although delicious, contains sugar and fats, so it should be consumed in moderation. Eggs are a good source of protein and vitamins, while strawberries provide antioxidants and vitamin C.
