Strawberry Garden Gateau

A celebration of springtime and simple, fresh flavors. This cake features multiple layers of delicate, melt-in-your-mouth vanilla sponge. The layers are separated by mounds of sweet, lightly whipped Chantilly cream and abundant slices of fresh, sweet strawberries. The lightness of the cake and cream makes this a perfect alternative to heavier desserts. It is designed to be effortlessly charming, often dusted lightly with powdered sugar and adorned with whole, glistening strawberries and fresh mint leaves.
