Step 1/9
- 2 egg whites
- ⅜ tsp lemon juice
- salt
- oven
- stand mixer or hand mixer with beaters
Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F. Beat egg whites with some of the lemon juice and a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Here it is important that the bowl and beater are free of any grease to reach the desired consistency!
Step 2/9
- 6 g vanilla sugar
- 50 g sugar
As soon as the egg whites start to form soft peaks, gradually add the vanilla sugar and sugar and continue to mix until stiff peaks form.
Step 3/9
- 20 g all-purpose flour
- 12 g cornstarch
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- sieve
- large bowl or parchment paper
Sift and combine flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Step 4/9
- oven
- Angel Food Cake pan
- rubber spatula
Fold the flour mixture carefully into the egg white mixture and pour into an Angel Food Cake pan. Smooth the top and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C/325°F for approx. 35 - 45 min until golden.
Step 5/9
Invert the pan to set down on its little feet, or use the middle hole to rest it on a bottle. Leave to cool for 1 hour.
Step 6/9
- 2 g mint
- 40 g strawberries
- knife
- chopping board
Meanwhile, slice mint into fine strips. Wash strawberries, remove the stalks and halve.
Step 7/9
- 4 g confectioner's sugar
- small bowl
Mix strawberries and mint with some of the confectioner's sugar and leave to one side. The sugar gives the strawberries a lovely shine.
Step 8/9
- 30 g confectioner´s sugar
- 10 ml lemon juice
- whisk
- small bowl
Now, for the icing, combine the rest of the confectioner's sugar with some of the lemon juice (freshly pressed if possible).
Step 9/9
Release the cake and glaze with icing. Once the icing has set (approx. 15 min) serve the cake with the fresh strawberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
