Ingredients
- 20 g Flour, cake
- 28 g Sugar
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 12.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 7.5 g Milk, whole
- 0.7 g Baking powder
- 0.5 g Vanilla extract
- 7.5 g Egg whites, raw
Method
- This is one slice; the amounts above are for one of 12 slices, so multiply everything by 12 to bake the whole two-layer cake.
- For the full batch: cream the butter and most of the sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder alternately with the milk, mixing just until smooth.
- Divide between two greased 20 cm cake pans and bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for 25-30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
- Cool completely, then whip the egg whites to soft peaks and gradually add the rest of the sugar, beating to a stiff, glossy meringue.
- Stack the cooled cake layers with a little meringue in between, then swirl the rest over the top and sides.
