Strawberry Sunday sponge cake

Of course you can have it any day of the week! But for me a creamy cake is a Sunday thing. My mother wasn’t very fond of baking so if we didn’t spend the afternoon with the grandparents (my grandmother made the best cakes ever), my dad went to the cake shop and got some…
