Ingredients
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 4 oz cream cheese (100 g)
- ½ cup milk (130 mL)
- 8 eggs, yolk
- ¼ cup flour (60 g)
- ¼ cup cornstarch (60 g)
- 13 large egg whites
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar (130 g)
- hot water, for baking
- powdered sugar, for serving
- 1 pt Strawberries (340 g), for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C).
- In a small pot over medium heat, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, and milk until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
- now in a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth and then slowly drizzle in the cream cheese mixture, stirring the mixture until evenly combined.
- Sift in the flour and the cornstarch, whisking to make sure there are no lumps in the mix.
- In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Fold about ¼ of the egg whites and into the yolk mixture, then repeat with the remaining egg whites until the batter is evenly combined.
- Grease the bottom of a 9 x 3-inch (23 x 7.5 cm) round cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. If using a springform pan, make sure to wrap the bottom and sides completely in foil twice to prevent any leakage.
- now pour the batter into the pan and shake to release any large air bubbles.
- Place the pan into a larger baking dish lined with 2 paper towels at the bottom. The paper towels ensure that the heat is distributed evenly along the bottom of the pan. Fill the larger pan about 1-inch (2-cm) high with hot water.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 285°F (140°C), and bake for another 55 minutes, until the cake has risen to almost double its original height.
- Remove from oven, and carefully invert the cake onto your dominant hand and peel off the paper. You can also invert the cake onto a plate, but this will cause the cake to deflate more.
- Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, then slice and serve with strawberries while still warm and enjoy in this winter.
