French Strawberry Cake

This was my first time making a Genoise cake and I think it turned out pretty well.  It did deflate a bit more than I would have liked.  But, I was still able to get my cake cut into three layers.  Three very thin layers.

Overall I was not too impressed by the flavor.  Maybe it’s because I’m used to sweeter American cakes.  The strawberries I purchased were super sweet with wonderful strawberry flavor.

Bringing it to room temperature, after slicing, but before eating, does help a bit.  But, I don’t know that I would make this again.  It does look beautiful once all put together.

To get the recipe check out the book Baking with Julia, by Dorie Greenspan.
