Method

The calculation in the recipe is for an 18-21cm (7.09-8.27 inch) cake.

Sponge biscuit

  • Whip the room temperature butter with sugar and vanilla.
  • Add the yolks, and keep whipping.
  • At the end, add part of the flour with baking powder, and mix in.
  • Pour in the milk, add the remaining flour with baking powder.
  • Divide the dough into two molds.

Don't bake! Quickly make the meringue!

Meringue

  • Combine the ingredients, and whip until stiff peaks.
  • Pour onto the cake batter, and bake in oven at 338F (170C) for about 22 minutes.
  • You can bake two tins at the same time, but it's okay if they take turns baking.
  • Immediately after taking, take the blanks out of the oven.
  • Move along the edge with a knife (otherwise it will crack in the middle when it cools), and leave to cool.

Confiture

  • Heat the puree with the zest to 104F (40C).
  • Add the pectin and sugar, bring to a boil, and boil for 2 minutes.
  • Add the acid, mix, and cool.

The cream

Combine all the components, and whip until smooth.

Cake assembly

  • Put the cream over the first biscuit with meringue.
  • Cover it with confiture (and fresh berries if desired).
  • Cover with the second biscuit with meringue.

That's it! You can eat the cake right away!
