Cake


Shannon asked me for the recipe for this cake so here it is :

250 gr sugar
4 egg whites

Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then add the sugar, a little at a time.

With a teaspoon - put blobs of this mixture on a non stick baking sheet - and let dry in the oven at 100°C or so. This should take little over an hour.

When the blobs are nice and dry you round them up on a pretty serving plate, cramming them together so they resemble a cake. Then you put a whole lot of whipped cream on top . 3 dl should just about do it. The cream is delicious - and it makes to blobs stick together.

On top of the cream you can put any berries and fruit you like - I used blueberries, strawberries and kiwi.

The outcome of all this is a cheats Pavlova of sorts. I do know how to make the real thing - but the blobs dry faster if you are in a hurry.
