PERFECT! PERFECT!! PERFECT!!!!! We skip the ice cream, and go for the Texas tradition of sponge cake half drenched with strawberry sauce, and buried in sweet whip cream The taste is just like I remember growing up. THANKS, THANKS THANKS for the recipe.

Instead of making the cake in a large pan I used a heart-shaped muffin tin. It made 32 little cakes which are perfect for assembling individual cakes. I will pipe the mousse in between 2 of the cakes and then top with the syrup. How beautiful and perfect for St. Valentine's Day!
