Let’s start by preparing the Sponge Cake. You can prepare it even the day before. Once ready, let it cool in its mold at room temperature, and then you can cut it easily
In the meantime, let’s prepare the zabaglione. While it’s still hot, add the gelatin, previously softened in a little water. Once cooled, whip the cream until very firm, and add it to the zabaglione a little at a time, stirring from bottom to top.
Wash the strawberries and cut them into small pieces or slices. Prepare a soak for the sponge cake, I used marsala
Cut the Sponge Cake into 3 discs. Soak the surface of the first layer with Marsala, place the chopped strawberries. With a piping bag, make many spirals of cream, creating a layer about 0.4 inches thick. Place the next layer, soak, add the strawberries and cream, soak the inside of the last layer and flip it over onto the cake.
Cover the entire cake with the remaining cream and smooth it with a spatula, saving some for the decorations.
Insert a medium star tip into a piping bag. Place the strawberries in the center of the cake and decorate around with cream stars, spray the gelatin on the strawberries to keep them fresher and more colorful, store in the fridge until serving
