directions

  1. CAKE: Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a 9 inch spring form
    pan; set aside. In a large bowl beat whites and cream of tartar to
    soft peaks. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar, continuing to
    beat to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl beat the yolks with remaining
    sugar until light yellow and thickened. Scrape yolks over whites,
    add lemon rind and vanilla and fold together. Sift flour and salt
    over batter, folding in gently but thoroughly.
  2. Transfer to prepared
    pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until the top springs
    back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on wire rack. If making
    ahead, remove from pan and wrap well for storage at cool room
    temperature for one to two days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  3. MOUSSE: In a very small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over water; set
    aside. Rinse, hull and puree berries. In a small saucepan combine
    puree, sugar and lemon juice and heat gently just long enough to
    dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Warm softened gelatin over low heat
    until clear and syrupy. Stir into strawberry mixture. Transfer to a
    large bowl and chill to consistency of raw egg white. Whisk in the
    yogurt. Whip cream until form; fold into mousse and return to
    fridge.
  4. SYRUP: In a small saucepan bring water and sugar to a boil.
    Remove from heat, cool and stir in liqueur. ASSEMBLY: Using a long
    serrated knife, but cake into 2 thin layers. Place top half, but side
    up, in the botton of a clean 9 inch spring for pan. Drizzle half the
    syrup ivenly over the cut side of each of the 2 halves. Spoon
    strawberry mousse over cake in pan; don't worry if mousse extends
    over the sides.
  5. Set remaining layer, cut side over mousse, pressing
    gently. Cover and chill thoroughly, overnight if possible. Release
    sides of pan, and using a wide lifter, transfer cake to service
    plate, doily-lined if you've thought that for ahead.
  6. CREAM FROSING AND GARNISH: Rinse and hull berries. Slice thinly. Whip cream until it's stiff and firm. Sweeten with sugar and spread ivenly over top and sides of cake. Arrange berry slices in circle around the top and bottom edges of the cake. Refrigerate until serving time, which should be within the following hour or two.
