Ingredients

Syrup:

1 cup sugar

1 ½ cups water

(Place both sugar and water on a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stir till

Sugar dissolves. Raise the heat to high and simmer for 5 minutes. COOL

COMPLETELY

Cake:

5 eggs

1 tsp vanilla powder

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup flour

1/3 cup corn starch

pinch of salt

Lemon curd:

3 eggs

150 grams sugar

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1 tsp lemon zest

65 grams butter

Meringue:

5 egg whites

¼ tsp cream of tartar or 1 tsp lemon juice

150 grams sugar

½ tsp lemon zest.

Directions

Cake:

Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).

Grease a round cake pan of about 9 inches (22 cm). Line the pan with a parchment paper.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the eggs, vanilla, and sugar.

Beat with an electric mixer for about 10 – 15 minutes, or until the mixture is very soft and doubled in volume

On a bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt together.

Sift the flour mixture into the beaten eggs.

Fold the mixture thoroughly with a rubber spatula, 3 – 4 times, mixing gently with a round, and top to bottom movement

Pour into the pan. Level with a spatula. Bake for about 30 – 45 minutes, or until golden.

Remove from the pan turning upside down. Remove parchment paper. Transfer on a rack to cool to room temperature

Once cooled, split the cake into three equal layers; place each layer on a parchment paper sheet

And set aside.

Lemon curd:

In a stainless bowl set over a saucepan with simmering water, place the eggs, sugar

And lemon juice. Whisk on low medium speed for 12 minutes till thick and pale in color.

Remove from heat and add the lemon zest and butter, beat till all combined.

Chill for 1 hour stirring occasionally.

Meringue:

On a clean stainless bowl, place the egg whites and using clean beaters, beat

Till frothy.

Add the cream of tartar or lemon juice if using till soft peaks formed.

Start adding the sugar till you reach a stiff peaks and the meringue is shiny

And glossy.

Assemble the cake:

Place the first cake layer on a high stand (I use the same cake pan flipped).

Brush the first layer with cold syrup. Spread 3-4 tbsp of the lemon curd

In the center and spread. Make sure you stop spreading 2 cm before

The edge. Repeat with the other layers in the same manner.

Cover all the cake sides and top with meringue using a spoon to

Make decorative swirls. You may also pipe any shapes you desire

With a piping bag. Use the flame torch to brown the meringue

Bookmark added! thanks... how did you do that perfect meringue? I love these type of recipes, but meringue is not always very firm, and sometimes looks like melting.
