2 eggs
4 tbsp. water
1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tbsp. vanilla extract

4. Grease a cake pan, preferably one with removable edges (22 cm in diameter). Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is fully baked. Let it rest for 10 minutes or so and then take it out of the cake pan and let it cool.
5. When the cake is cooled, whip the heavy cream and spread a layer over the cake. Then top the cake with strawberries. Enjoy!
