- To make your jam, add washed strawberries to a heavy based pan followed by your jam sugar. Cook for about 9 mins until the strawberries have softened and the jam has become nice and thick.

Add a layer of jam to your sponge, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries and finally a layer of coconut frosting then place the second sponge on top. Then cover the top and sides of your cake with the remaining coconut frosting. Decorate with toasted coconut, fresh strawberries and edible flowers and enjoy!
