Génoise is the name of the biscuit on which the cake is based.
I elaborated this recipe for a birthday (using "basis" such as génoise, pastry cream, and chantilly).

Ingredients:
For the génoise:
- 3 eggs
- 120 gr flour
- 120 gr sugar
For the pastry cream (crème patissière):
- 150 gr sugar
- 75 gr flour
- 5 yolks of eggs
- 3/4 L milk
- 1/2 vanilla pod
For the Chantilly (1/4 L):
- 50 gr superfine sugar
- 25 cL liquid cream
- 1/4 vanilla pod
Others:
- 500 gr strawberries
- chocolate chips (decoration)
- 2 ts superfine sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- Prepare a génoise and cut it horizontally in two halves with a sharp knife
- Prepare a strawberry sirup (mixing together 200 gr strawberries with 1/3 cup water and 2 ts superfine sugar) and use 2/3 of it to wet the two halves of génoise (from the inside)
- Prepare the pastry cream
- Put the upper part of the génoise down on the pan where the cake will be presented
- Cut 300 gr strawberries in halves, and cover the génoise half on the pan with it (the cut part of the strawberries against the paste)
- Smear half of the pastry cream over the strawberries, and cover with the second half of the génoise
- Smear the rest of the pastry cream
- Prepare the chantilly, and smear it over the pastry cream
- Decorate with a strawberry in slices, chocolate chips, and pour the rest of the strawberry syrup
- Keep a few hours in the fridge before eating
