Samson’s Birthday Cake ( Gluten free)

By Manuela | May 29, 2015 | InAll Recipes, Blog, Desserts

Today is Samson’s birthday. I can not believe he is 8 years old! How time flies.
He asked me to make him a strawberry cream cake.

for the sponge you will need:
• 4 organic eggs, separated
• 80 gr raw caster sugar
• 150 gr lightly toasted and ground almonds
• a pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry
• in separate bowl beat egg yolks with sugar until light
• fold in almonds, salt ,vanilla
• now gently incorporate the egg whites

• line a baking tray with grease proof paper
• spread the cake mixture evenly on the paper
• bake in a preheated oven, 200˚ for 5 minutes or until top is lightly golden

• slide the paper onto the bench top
• place the tray upside down over the sponge
• the steam it will create will keep the sponge pliable
