About

The Japanese Strawberry Shortcake differs to the well-known American Strawberry Shortcake because it is a sponge layer cake filled with whipped cream, rather than a biscuit. It has become more and more popular in Japan and has replaced some of the more traditional Japanese cakes as a favourite cake.
