Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a round cake pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar, whipping until fluffy and pale. Gradually fold in flour and melted butter until well blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the sponge to cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the sponge cools, heat the strawberry jelly in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until it becomes syrupy and smooth. Remove from heat once fully dissolved. Allow the jelly to cool slightly.
- Once the sponge is completely cool, gently remove it from the pan and cut it into rectangular pieces, about 2 inches wide.
- Dip each piece of sponge into the prepared strawberry jelly, making sure they are well coated on all sides while allowing excess jelly to drip off.
- Roll them in desiccated coconut, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the center of each cake with whipped cream.
- Once filled, carefully place the cakes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- After chilling, arrange the cakes on a platter for serving.

Notes
For best results, ensure the jelly is slightly thickened but still pourable. Proper chilling is essential for setting the jelly and improving texture.
