Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cake batter come together smoothly.
- Do not overbeat the egg whites. If you do, they will become dry and the cake will be tough.
- Bake the cake in a tube pan. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Cool the cake upside down. This will help prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- For the strawberry rhubarb sauce, use fresh, ripe strawberries and rhubarb. This will give the sauce the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh strawberries and rhubarb, you can use frozen or canned fruit instead. Just be sure to thaw the fruit before using.
