I only thought about the Polish national colours when I look at the photo. I also thought- great sponge!!! ;-D

The recipe comes from Smaker.pl., I spotted the photo of it and I knew I’d be making it. The parcel arrived this morning from Mum, with the jellies and budyn and other great Polish stuff  that I love baking with. First I baked the sponge, as usual to Mum’s recipe,half a portion, as I wanted a small one,  then blitzed 400 g of strawberries with some sugar, heated it up and added half a portion of dry strawberry jelly and a gelatine leaf. Left it to cool. When it was beginning to set, I poured it over the sponge and placed in the fridge. The white topping was a tricky one. I whipped the cream as usual, with sugar, then started pouring a yellow jelly, all cooled, but poured it in too early, as it wouldn’t thicken. I whipped some fresh one and added the other mixture slowly, then , in despair, placed it in the freezer hoping it would get the jelly working. IT DID. I topped the now set strawberries and left in the fridge in peace.

The game this evening is Czech – Portugal, which we’re not really watching, just peaking. I hope the Christiano- Gayaldo team won’t win, I hate the knob with a passion.

The cake- very good. Very light. Very pleasant. 🙂
