** The baking time and temperature illustrated here are general guidelines. Make necessary adjustments on the time and temperature to suit your oven.

Remove the cake from the oven and invert it immediately. Allow it to cool completely before removing from the pan.

 

** Notes:-

  • I do not have sweet tooth, all my bakes are low in sugar.
  • Can use caster sugar (30gm) for yolk batter, instead of raw sugar
  • Can increase egg meringue sugar to 60gm
