Steps:
- Prepare the frosting ahead of time by placing the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight.Once chilled open the can and scoop the firm coconut cream from the can and add to a bowl (reserve the coconut water for a smoothie or discard).
- Beat the coconut cream on high until light and fluffy then add in the vanilla extract and 1/2 of the icing sugar.
- Beat again for another minute, then add in the remaining icing sugar and beat once more until completely combined and the icing is light and fluffy.
- Chill the icing in the fridge until the cake is ready to assemble.
- For the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease two 6-inch cake pans with coconut oil and line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix to combine.
- In another bowl combine the applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until completely incorporated and no clumps remain, avoid overmixing.
- Divide the cake batter between the two pans and bake on the middle rack for 25 to 30-minutes or until a toothpick pulls clean from the centre of the cakes.
- Allow the pans to cool on a cooling rack completely before removing the cakes from the pans.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled place one layer on a serving tray and gently slice the top of the cakes to make sure they are flat on top and level for stacking.
- Spread a 1/2 inch layer of the frosting on the top of the bottom cake layer then top with the other cake layer.
- Spread the remaining frosting on the top and sides of the cake as evenly as possible and then decorate the cake as you prefer.
- Serve within 1 hour.**

Steps:
- Slice 300g of the strawberries. Put in a pan with the icing sugar and lemon juice. Gently heat until the juices start to run, then cook, uncovered, for 2 mins. Tip into a food processor or mini blender and whizz to a purée, then press through a sieve to remove the seeds.
- Grease and line the base and sides of a 23 x 33cm Swiss roll tin. Grease and line the base of a deep 20-21cm round cake tin. (You will also need a deep 23cm round cake tin for later.) To make the polka dots, whisk the egg and sugar using a hand-held electric whisk until thick, pale and the mixture leaves a trail when the whisk blade is lifted. Sift in the flour and fold in using a spatula until well mixed, then fold in 1 tbsp of the strawberry purée and a few drops each of the pink and red food colouring.
- Spoon small dots of the mixture randomly over the base of the Swiss roll tin, leaving a little space between each dot. Place in the freezer for 20 mins until the pink dots are firm to the touch.
- To make the cakes, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. If you have a tabletop mixer, you can make the whole quantity in 1 batch. If using a handheld electric whisk, it will be easier to make the cakes in 2 batches of 4 eggs each. Whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and pale, and the whisk blades leave a trail when they are lifted - this will take 5-8 mins. Sift in the flour and baking powder, drizzle in the butter and vanilla, and fold everything together using a spatula until all the flour is incorporated.
- Pour half the mixture into the prepared cake tin and the other half over the Swiss roll tin, spreading it out evenly. Bake the rectangular cake for 15 mins and the round cake for 25 mins. Turn out each cake onto a tea towel, then remove the paper and invert onto a wire rack to cool.
- To make the filling, beat together the mascarpone, icing sugar and remaining strawberry purée. Chop 200g of the remaining strawberries into small pieces. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold into the mascarpone with the chopped strawberries.
- Line the base and sides of the 23cm round cake tin with cling film. Trim the edges of the rectangular cake, then cut into 2 x 9cm-wide strips lengthwise. Fit around the sides of the tin, trimming to fit if necessary. The cake should butt together fairly tightly.
- Cut the round cake into 3 layers (you could cut it into 2 layers if you find it easier, and divide the following filling accordingly). Place the bottom layer in the base of the cling film-lined tin. Reserve 3 rounded tbsp of the filling in a small bowl, then spoon half the remainder over the cake, smoothing it flat. Place a second cake layer on top and add the remaining filling, smoothing it flat. Top with the last cake layer. Cover the cake with cling film and chill for 24-48 hrs, along with the small bowl of reserved filling.
- Carefully remove the cake from the tin and peel off the cling film. Slide the cake onto a serving plate. Slice the remaining hulled strawberries. Spread the reserved filling over the top of the cake and fill with sliced berries, adding in the 8 whole ones.
- Warm the apricot jam with 2 tbsp water in a small pan, then press through a sieve. Brush liberally over all the strawberries. Dust the top edge of the cake with icing sugar. Chill until ready to serve.
