1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper rounds for best results.

6. Then remove it from oven and cool for 30 minutes.

2. Beat well with a mixer or whisk, until stiff peaks form.
3. Then carefully fold in the softened mascarpone cheese, chopped strawberries and strawberry puree until well blended.
