1. Mix and sieve the flour and baking powder.
|
2. Melt the butter, taking care not to overheat it.

3. Put the eggs and sugar into a bowl and whisk over a pan of hot water until thick and light; remove from the heat, and continue whisking for a few minutes.
|
4. Add the cream, then quickly fold in the flour, and lastly add the melted butter.
|
5. Pour the mixture into a buttered 8-inch cake tin or into 2 buttered sandwich tins, and bake in a moderate oven (350°F) for 40 - 50 minutes, until firm and golden-brown, then cool.

6. When the cake is quite cold, cut in half, and fill with a thick layer of sliced strawberries soaked in sherry, and a layer of whipped cream.
|
7. Join the cake together again firmly, spread the top with whipped cream, and decorate with whole strawberries.
