Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.

Turn out onto a damp kitchen towel as shown, peel off the paper and leave to cool.
Sprinkle the cake with syrup ( either from the canned fruit or you can prepare it yourself by boiling 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup water). You may as well use Sprite. Make sure all the surface of the cake is covered, specially the border, to keep it moist.
Spread over strawberry jam.
