How to cook

Prepare meringue

  • Whip egg white with cream of tartar until big foamy bubbles start to form.
  • Add in icing sugar gradually, a couple of tablespoons at a time.
  • Whip until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Prepare cake mix

  • Beat butter & icing sugar until butter turns to a pale yellow and doubles in volume.
  • Add egg yolks one at a time and beat well to combine before adding the next.
  • Add in the pomelo zest and juice and mix well.
  • Add flour to the cake mix in 4 batches, making sure flour is mixed in before adding more.
  • Be careful not to over mix the batter.

Method

  • Fold in ¼ of the meringue to the cake mix to lighten the mixture.
  • Fold in the remaining meringue in two batches to ensure the mixture retains the fluffiness.
  • Pour into a greased & lined cake pan and tap on the tabletop a couple of times to remove large air bubbles.
  • Smooth the top of the cake mixture.

Start baking

  • Bake at 170°C for 45-50 mins until the top is light brown.
  • When you poke the center with a toothpick, it should come out clean with no batter stuck to it.
  • Let the cake rest on a wire rack for 10-15 mins or until room temperature.
  • Serve with a dusting of icing sugar & zest and cream on the side and enjoy!
