Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups sugar (or castor’s sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cake flour, sifted (if you don’t have cake flour, you can make some!
- 12 egg whites (the closer to room temperature the better)
- 1/3 cup warm water
- 1 vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- Whipped cream
- strawberries & raspberries (any sort of berry you want, those two are just the ones I prefer)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- If you have regular sugar: Blend the sugar for about 2 minutes until it is superfine. if you have castors sugar, you can skip this step
- Sift half of the sugar with the salt the cake flour in a medium bowl and set the remaining sugar aside.
- In a large bowl, use a whisk to thoroughly combine egg whites, water, orange extract, and cream of tartar for two minutes. Then, using a hand blender, slowly sift the reserved sugar into the eggs beating continuously at medium speed to achieve medium peaks
- Once the eggs are whipped to medium peaks, sift the flour over the mixture, 1/4 a cup at a time. Repeat until all of the flour mixture is finished.
- Carefully spoon mixture into an lined cupcake tray and fill 3/4 of the way up. Bake until the tops of the cupcakes are turning slightly golden, and you can insert a tooth pick between the liner and the cake and have it come out clean.
- Cool completely & top with whipped cream and berries to your liking
Happy spring & I hope you all enjoy!
