- Heat oven to 350 F. Grease two 8-inch round layer-cake pans. Line bottoms with waxed paper; grease paper.
- Cake: Beat Large eggs and 2/3 c. sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer 8 to 10 min till very thick and tripled in volume. (This is important to assure high layers.) Beat in vanilla. Put flour in a medium-size strainer and sift over batter. Gently stir (fold) with a rubber spatula just till thoroughly blended. Pour into prepared pans.
- Bake 18 to 20 min till golden brown around the edges and a pick inserted in centers comes out clean.
- Cold cakes on wire rack 10 min. Loosen edges from pans, invert on rack and let cold completely. When cold, carefully slice each layer in half, using a long serrated knife.
- Heat 1/3 c. sugar and the lemon juice till boiling. Stir till sugar dissolves. Brush warm syrup over cut surfaces of cake layers till all syrup is absorbed. Cold completely.
- Beat cream and remaining 3 Tbsp. sugar with electric mixer till stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted (you'll have 4 c.). Spoon off 1 c. and reserve. Stir strawberry jam, then stir jam into remaining whipped cream.
- To assemble: Place 1 cake layer cut side up on a serving plate. Top with 1 c. sliced strawberries, then 1 c. whipped-cream mix. Repeat with remaining layers, putting last layer cut side down. Spread with reserved whipped cream. Decorate with Shortbread Hearts and berries.
