For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh mint or a drizzle of balsamic glaze. If you're feeling ambitious, try making your own sponge cake from scratch for an even more personalized dessert. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. For a richer flavor, use a high-quality vanilla extract in your whipped cream.
