Japanese Strawberry Shortcake // イチゴのショートケーキ

Japanese Strawberry Shortcake RecipeI decided for the summer to make a Japanese Strawberry Shortcake. Unlike the American version of the strawberry shortcake (sweet biscuits/scones topped with strawberries and whipped cream),a Japanese strawberry shortcake is a layered sponge cake (おいしい// Oishii// yummy!) with strawberries and whipped cream filling, AND whipped cream frosting! This cake is a favorite japanese choice for birthdays and Christmas, and in fact is often called a Christmas Cake. I know it’s not Christmastime, but I've been dying to try this recipe out! Which I borrowed from Fuji Mama, check her blog out for other Japanese recipes.
