For the cake

  • 12 large eggs, whites only, chilled
  • 425g caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 140g gluten-free self raising flour, sifted

To decorate

  • 220g vegan or dairy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 200g fresh berries

Utensils

  • Stand mixer
  • Step 1

    Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Grease and line the bottom and sides of the Ninja Foodi ZEROSTICK Roasting Tin and set to one side.

  • Step 2

    In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the egg whites, sugar and vanilla. Mix on low speed with a whisk attachment for 1 to 2 minutes then increase the speed to medium-low for 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add the lemon juice and sea salt then whip on medium-high speed until you’re left with a thick glossy meringue whipped to soft peaks. Check every 2 minutes to avoid over-whipping.

  • Step 4

    Remove the bowl, then sift over the flour and using a silicone spatula fold in until combined being careful not to knock the air out.

  • Step 5

    Pour into the lined tin and very gently smooth out into an even layer with a silicone spatula. Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes until golden brown but firm.

  • Step 6

    Once baked leave to cool for a few minutes then turn out onto a wire wrack and leave to cool completely.

  • Step 7

    Once the cake is cooled whip together the whipping cream, icing sugar, and vanilla. Carefully spoon on top of the cake, cut into 16 pieces then top with fresh berries. Serve immediately.
