- 1/4 cup cold water
- 2 cups whole strawberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water; set aside. Rinse, hull and purée berries.
In a small saucepan combine purée, sugar and lemon juice and heat gently just long enough to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat.
Warm softened gelatin over low heat until clear and syrupy. Stir into strawberry mixture. Transfer to a large bowl and chill to consistency of raw egg white. Whisk in the yogurt. Whip cream until firm; fold into mousse and return to fridge.
Sponge Cake:
- 3 eggs
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon lemons
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
Slice 1 inch layer from the top of the cake, lift off in 1 piece and set aside.
Hollow out cake leaving 3/4 inch border on sides and 1 inch border on the bottom. Then spoon strawberry mousse in and over cake
Whip the remaining 1 cup of whipping cream in small deep bowl at high speed or until thickened; beat in sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Frost cake with whipped cream.
Sweeten with sugar and spread evenly over top and sides of cake. Put slice fresh strawberries in circle around the top and bottom edges of the cake. Refrigerate until serving time.
