Step by step
Instructions
The biggest shortcut is to bake the vanilla sponge a day ahead, wrap it in foil after it cools, and keep it in the fridge. The next day the birthday cake is easier to slice and assemble faster. Prepare the strawberry sauce in advance as well; it must be completely cold before adding to the cream.

Variants and alternatives
For a smoother cream use half the strawberry sauce in the cream and put the rest only between the layers. You can use raspberries instead of strawberries, but strain the sauce after blending to remove the seeds. You can also make the cake without sugar decorations and garnish it with fruit only.
