| 1. To Make the Cake: | 2. Blend the flour with the baking powder and set aside. In a large bowl, whip the separated egg whites until fluffy; add in the sugar to the whipped egg whites gradually. Beat the mixture until it gets to a stiff meringue like consistency. In a seperate small bowl, beat the egg yolks until frothy. Gently fold the egg yolks and flour mixture into the egg whites and mix gently until well combined. | 3. Preheat your oven to 350°F. | 4. Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Divide the batter between the two pans. Bake the 9-inch layers until the centers spring back when touched with finger, approximately 30 minutes. Set on a rack to cool, leaving the cake layers in the pans. When cooled the centers of the layters may sink slightly. | 5. For the Custard Filling: | 6. In a small saucepan mix the egg yolks, butter, cornstarch, half-and-half and sugar. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly over medium heat until it attains a smooth, thick and creamy texture. Remove from the heat, cover and cool. Once cool stir in the vanilla. | 7. Assembling the Cake: | 8. Cut the 2 9-inch layers in half horizontally. Place one of the layers on a cake plate or serving plate and spread with some of the custard and place some of the berries into the custard. | 9. Add an additional layer of cake and spread with the strawberry or apricot jam adding more of the fruit. | 10. Add the third layer and spread again with custard adding berries. | 11. Top with the remaining layer of cake. | 12. An hour before serving whip the cream and flavor with the powdered sugar and vanilla, spread the whipped cream on top of the cake and garnish with some of the strawberries. | 13. Enjoy! | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
