Description

This dessert variation combines a fluffy vanilla sponge cake with layers of smooth caramel and a fresh strawberry compote.

Tips

When it comes to ingredient substitutions for this dessert, there are a few options to consider. If you don't have vanilla sponge cake, you can use a yellow or white cake as a substitute. Instead of caramel, you could use dulce de leche or butterscotch sauce for a similar sweet and sticky effect. For the fresh strawberry compote, you can substitute with any other fresh fruit compote such as raspberry or blueberry. Lastly, if you don't have vanilla buttercream, you can use whipped cream or cream cheese frosting as alternatives.
