No hard and fast rules are applied to any type of cooking specially in making cakes. Everyone has their own style to use the different ingredients in assembling the cake although the basic cake recipe remains the same. This Strawberry cake recipe is a result of my experimentation and creation in which I just used the recipe of sponge cake and assembled it with strawberry mousse or cheesecake filling.
