Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add in the icing sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until thick and glossy. Gently fold in vanilla extract, vinegar, and cornstarch. Continue beating until egg whites are stiff and glossy. With the use of a spatula, carefully fold in the ground almonds with the egg whites.

  • Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or baking silicon mat See Photo. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20 min, or until set. Turn off oven and leave in the oven to cool while preparing whipped cream filling.
  • While meringue is cooling, drain the mandarin slices. They need to be fairly dry before being put on the cake. Beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in mandarin slices.
  • Flip the meringue cake upside down onto a new sheet of parchment paper (or kitchen towel dusted with icing sugar) Carefully peel off from the silicon mat or parchment paper. With top side down, spread the whipped cream over the bottom of the cake meringue, and gently roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side and peeling paper away while rolling See Photo. Once rolled up make sure the edge of the roll is facing down.
  • Dust with icing sugar and drizzle with melted chocolate See Photo. Cut diagonally and serve. See Photo

    This looks fantastic! The mandarin orange slices are an unexpected touch. I will definitely try this. The photos throughout the recipe text make baking this cake seem a little less intimidating!
