Ingredients

Rosewater icing

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease two 20cm cake pans. Line base with baking paper. Dust pans with flour; shake out excess.
2.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs until frothy. Add sugar, beating until thick and pale. Mixture should hold its shape (this can take up to 10 minutes).
3.Sift flour and cornflour together onto a piece of baking paper. Combine water and butter in a jug. Fold flour lightly into egg mixture, followed by water mixture.
4.Pour mixture evenly into pans. Bake 15-20 minutes, until sponge springs back when touched lightly with fingertip.
5.Loosen edges with a butter knife. Cover a wire rack with a tea towel, then turn out cakes; cool completely.
6.To make rosewater icing, beat all ingredients together until smooth.
7.Sandwich cooled cakes together with cream and strawberries. Spread icing over top and decorate with rose petals.
