Now take the strawberries and cut them in halves( BTW these strawberries grow in our garden, I just picked them up in the morning.. So fresh and sweet)πππ
Put the first sponge into the pan and wrap the sides of the pan with plastic wrap. Spread the syrup around the sponge and line the berries in the way shown here.
Pour half of the cream and add some whole strawberries in the middle
