Instructions
- 1For the sponge cake preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and prepare either one or two 20cm/8 inch cake pan(s). Line bottom with parchment paper. Then divide the eggs into egg white and egg yolks. Use a bigger bowl for the egg yolks. If you have a glass or metal bowl, use that one for the egg whites. Be sure that bowl is free of fat/grease and that your mixer was properly cleaned. First beat the egg whites on medium speed with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Set aside. Without cleaning our mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sugar. Beat until the color becomes much paler and you have a creamy consistency. This usually takes several minutes.

Chef tips
To keep the meringue crunchy inside the cake, try adding it right before serving or coating the meringue pieces with a thin layer of dulce de leche to protect them from the moist whipped cream. For a refreshing twist, swap the canned peaches for berries or fresh mango. Kids will love helping to break the meringues into small pieces and scattering them over the cream and fruit layers.
