Time 33m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
4 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups cornflour, make sure it is gluten-free (cornstarch)
1 teaspoon baking powder, gluten-free
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup strawberry jam, warmed
250 g strawberries, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Coat 2 spring form pans with baking spray, then line with baking paper. The baking spray helps keep the paper from moving around.
  • In a microwave bowl or small saucepan, place the sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Stir every now and then to dissolve the sugar.
  • Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff. Slowly drizzle in the hot sugar mixture with the mixer running. Then beat really hard for 3 minutes. Mix in egg yolks and vanilla.
  • Sift together cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Carefully fold these into the egg mixture. Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake 18-20 minutes. As soon as you remove them from the oven, drop the pans from knee height, square on the floor - seriously! This is a strange sponge making trick that 'shocks' the cake and stops it from deflating.
  • Then immediatly turn sponges out onto a wire rack or baking paper to cool upside down.
  • Beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Warm jam for a few seconds in the microwave.
  • Place one sponge on the serving plate. Spread first with jam, then whipped cream.Top with strawberry slices. Then put second sponge on top. Dust with icing .

Categories     Cake     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs (200 g, weighed out of shell, separated)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (or 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice)
5/8 cup Basic Gum Free Gluten Free Flour Blend ((58 g superfine white rice flour + 19 g potato starch + 11 g tapioca starch/flour))
2 tablespoons cornstarch ((or try arrowroot))
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan (See Recipe Notes for 2 cakes) well and set it aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), place the egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar, and beat on medium-high speed until pale yellow.
  • Sift the flour blend, cornstarch and salt into the egg yolk mixture, and beat until well-combined.
  • Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a small bowl and set it aside.
  • Clean out the mixer bowl very well, and place the egg whites and cream of tartar or lemon juice in the bowl, fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar, and beat until glossy, stiff (but not dry) peaks form.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, slowly pour the egg yolk mixture and the vanilla into the egg white mixture, and beat until just combined. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread into an even layer.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until the cake has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs attached (about 35 minutes).
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
