3) Remove from oven and cool cake completely. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine strawberries, cognac and sugar. Let macerate 20 mins. Invert and release cake onto a decorative platter.

4) Whip cream with icing sugar and vanilla at medium-high speed until it reaches stiff peaks. Do not over whip.

6) Using a straw, poke holes all over the cake. Pour jam into holes and spread over the top of the cake.
