Do you have everything ready for the 4th? Yea, me neither! One thing I do know though, I am going to have some cake! This cake is so delicious and perfect for a hot summer day!
Have you ever had a Meringue or a Macaron cake? It's actually pretty easy to make and so delicious! I make it with a Meringue crust or bottom which is pretty sweet and then fill it with vanilla custard mixed with whipped cream and fresh berries on top to freshen it up! It melts in your mouth, but still feels super fresh and super light! Full Instructions and detailed pictures are on my blog here.
What you'll need for the cake:
- 6 eggwhites
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1.5 cups of Sugar (Good full cup)
- 2 tsp corn starch
- vanilla extract
What you'll need for the fill:
- 2 cups of Vanilla Custard
- 1 1/4 cups of Heavy Whipped Cream
- 1tsp Sugar
- Fresh Organic Strawberries
- Fresh Organic Blueberries
- Fresh Organic Raspberries
Set your oven to 480 degrees (250C). Mix the egg whites with vinegar and vanilla extract until it turns into foam. Add sugar and corn starch and mix until you have a fluffy mix! A good test is to turn your bowl upside down! If nothing comes out, it's done. For more details and pictures, see the full instructions here. Trace a cirle on parchment paper and our the dough. Turn your oven down to 210 degrees (100C) and bake the cake for 60-70 min. Once the cake is done, let it cool down for at least an hour.
Combine Vanilla Custard, whipped cream and sugar to make the fill. Decorate the cake with the fill and fresh fruit! If you're feeling festive, try to make the american flag with the fruit!
Happy 4th of July!
