So, here it is...
What you need
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 3/4 cup corn flour
- 1 tablespoon custard powder
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 x 20cm cake tins (greased and lined on the base)
- Sifter
- 4 bowls (one large, one small and 2 medium)
Topping/Filling:
- 2 x Passionfruit
- Strawberries
- Cream, whipped with a couple of tablespoons of caster sugar
How to make it
Pre-heat your oven to a moderate heat(180°).
Combine flour, tartare, bicarb and custard powder and sift at least 3 - 4 times.
Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in separate small bowl. Beat the whites and then start adding the sugar slowly, continue beating the whites after you add each spill of sugar until soft peaks form.
Add the yolks to the egg whites and beat until combined.
Fold in dry ingredients.
Pour mixture into the two cake tins (half in each tin).
Cook in oven for 20 - 25 mins. The cakes will rise quite a bit.
To test whether the cakes are cooked, gently touch the surface and if the cake springs back it is ready.
Set cakes aside to cool and then, after about 15 minutes, turn them out onto a cooling rack.
