this is so awesome that there are more chefs around here!
Let me share my own recipe for a whip cream masked cake.
Sorry if my cooking/baking terms used are a bit hard to get. I am a dutch chef/baker so I know little about the english words for it. only dutch and french.
Ingredients:
-5 eggs (Important! seperate the egg joke from the egg white! if jokes are greasy and when you are bringing air in your sponge grease can make it collapse and will result in a bad sponge).
-125 grams of fine crysal sugar.
- a table spoon of lemon zest.
-125 grams of fine strained flower.
- a cake bake thingy... plate? sorry I dont know what you call it in english. the pie thingy you bake it in. anyway, needs to be about 25 centimeters.
-(OPTIONAL) I personally add about 30 grams of 'zeeuwse bloem' (zeeuwse flower) not sure other countries than here have it. but its not needed at all really.

Preparing:
1. Start off with getting a completely de-greased metal bowl to whisk/mix in. (metal works the best due to grease problems). put it aside.
2. get another bowl (doesnt matter what kind of bowl, this one doesnt matter if it is greasy or not). Add the joke, two thirds of the sugar and the lemon zest. whisk this untill the joke turns a good light orange to nearing white-ish.
3. Now you can start whisking the egg white in a completely degreased bowl using a degreased whisk. (or machine, they work better). make sure your hands dont touch the inside because those are greasy too. Whisk the egg white untill it gets nice and thick and the egg white is about twice as thick as whip cream. while mixing add the rest of the sugar slowly. (you can tell if its ready if you leave the whisk in the bowl and turn it upside down, if it is good, nothing will fall out of it! only do that once you feel the whisk feels kinda stiff in the egg white).
4. get a spatula and slowly but surely start pouring the mixed joke, sugar and lemon zest into the mixed egg white. use the spatula to mix it untill all the egg white turns orange-ish. use as less motions as possible as the fat of the joke can still make the egg white collapse.
5. now do the same thing but add the flower slowly while mixing with the spatula. (note, I usually do this with another person helping. he adds the flower slowly for me while I mix it). some air is lost but its ok, it will suffice.
6. grease up the cake disk thingy good, if not done properly the cake will stick and the sponge will break once done. now spread it a bit in the disk.
7. put it in the oven at a heat of about 170 degrees celcius for about 30-60 minutes.
8. take it out and the sponge is now done! let it cool off in a freezer for a while.

Masking and filling:
First you will need to get the half frozen sponge and cut it into 3 pieces. so you have 3 layers of sponge. the first layer you will need to fill with pieces of fruit to choice and a bit of marasquin spread some jam of choice on it to top it off. put the middle layer on the filled bottom layer. the layer that is now visible you will completely fill with whip cream. (I do this with a pastry bag. it works the best). also add some fruit inside here. now add the top layer on it and you are ready to mask!
Now here is the trickiest part of making it, masking. this took me a while to master.
You need a glaze knife for this.
1. Hold the cake in one hand, hold it so you can turn it easily. have a bowl of whip cream next to you.
2. smear a chunk of whip cream over the top and sides of the sponge. I guess you know how to do this so I wont elaborate.
3. once it looks okay and masked, it is time to make it look cool.
4. how it was taught to me was use the glazing knife and see it as a landing plane. hold it slightly tilted and slide over the top of the cake to straighten it out. do the same for the sides. It takes some perfecting.
5. your cake is almost done! softly press some grated almonds to the sides of the cake.
6. get a pastry bag and add some nice little balls on the top of the cake to make it look nice. decorate as wished.
now your cake is finished the distortion way!
terribly sorry if I am unclear. it is really hard to explain my steps without showing what I do, let alone do it in english.
