Just wanted to say that we did make a new cake today with a different sponge cake recipe but we used your puree and the white chocolate cream frosting…..OMG, it was absolutely delicious. One of the best cakes I’ve ever had. I’m not really sure what happened with the cake but I checked on line and there were a couple of recipes similar to yours so maybe it’s our oven. But no matter what, that frosting is the very best and with the puree, it’s heavenly!! thanks

well, something does have to be changed to make a normal cake. This was more like 2 big cookies. It sounds absolutely mouth watering and I’m dying to try the frosting but the recipe needs to be looked over and checked for an error. Perhaps the eggs were supposed to be separated, and the whites beaten and added in? I’m going to try it again with a different sponge cake recipe and then do your puree and frosting recipe

I’m so sorry about that! My cake was very thin but I liked it that way. Hope you get to try the frosting, though, it is wonderful =)

Not a technically sound recipe. See my comment…

This recipe has great potential, however it didn’t work for me. First off, when you follow the recipe exactly, you will have two cakes measuring no more than 1/4 inch of thickness – it will fall drastically. I did follow the recipe verbatim, but something about it simply doesn’t work. I compared it to other standard sponge cake recipes and it just doesn’t match up. My blender was not strong enough to make the puree, so I don’t know how that would work with a more modern blender. I haven’t yet tried the frosting because at the moment I have no cake to put it on, however it does sound as though it may work. Either way, if you’re going to attempt this recipe, I would simply keep the general idea in mind (sponge cake, strawberry puree, white chocolate cream frosting) and use a recipe other than this for each individual component. If anyone else tries this and has it turn out perfectly, I would love to know about it
