Add ⅓ of the egg whites into the egg mixture, fold well with a rubber spatula. Then gently fold in the rest of egg whites till combined.
Pour the batter into 3 pieces - 12cm (5 inches) removable pie tray (no need to grease the tray), flatten batter with a spatula and bake in preheated oven 180 deg C for about 13-15 minutes. After baking, immediately drop pie tray on table top 2 to 3 times to release the hot air and prevent shrinkage. Leave cakes to cool down completely before topping with strawberries.
Gently remove cake from pie tray and spread some fresh whipped cream on cake and top with strawberries.
Use piping bag fitted with nozzle Wilton tip #366 to pipe the small leaves around the edges of the cake. Leave cake to chill for an hour. Dust with some snow powder (or icing sugar) on top of the strawberries before serving.
