  • First, make the vanilla cream. Whisk the egg yolks with half the sugar. In a separate saucepan, combine the milk, cream, the other half of the sugar, and the vanilla sugar. Set the pan over very low heat and warm it gently. Carefully, stirring constantly, pour the egg mixture into the milk. Keep the heat low—otherwise you'll end up with scrambled eggs. Stir until the mixture thickens. Take it off the heat and let it cool, then refrigerate the cream for half an hour. Meanwhile, make the sponge cake. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease a baking pan with butter. With a mixer, beat the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of sugar, and the vanilla to a thick foam. Sift in the flour, fold it in gently, and set it aside briefly. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar for about 10 minutes, until the mixture is nearly stiff. Carefully fold the whipped whites into the batter a few spoonfuls at a time, stirring gently. Gently pour the batter into the pan and bake for 15 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool. Meanwhile, slice the strawberries, toss them with sugar, and refrigerate. Once the sponge cake has cooled, run a water-moistened knife around it to release it from the pan. Cut the cake in half horizontally. Place the layers in a deep bowl, pour the tea over them, and let them soak. Whip the cream to a thick consistency. Melt the chocolate. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Top it with half the sugared strawberries and half the vanilla cream. Add the second layer, then another layer of strawberries and vanilla cream. Cover the top of the cake with whipped cream, drizzle with the melted chocolate, and decorate with strawberry slices and mint leaves.
