Instructions
Step 1
Begin by whisking the eggs with sugar until you achieve a very light and fluffy mixture. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gently fold in the sifted flour.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter in the hot milk and gradually incorporate it into the batter. Add the lemon juice and mix until smooth. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, pour the batter in, and level it off.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
While the sponge is baking, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until you achieve stiff peaks.
Once the sponge is done, remove it from the oven and spread a thin layer of the meringue over the top. Use the remaining meringue to create meringue strips spaced about 2 centimeters (1 inch) apart. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with sugar, then add cornstarch and vanilla sugar. Gradually pour in the hot milk while stirring constantly until thickened. Cover directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming and let it cool completely.
Step 4
Combine the mango and passion fruit purées with sugar and heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Mix a teaspoon of sugar with pectin and gradually sprinkle into the purée while stirring. Cook for an additional 2 minutes and let cool.
Finally, mix the cooled mango purée with the prepared cream and blend until smooth.
Step 5
Slice the sponge cake into three equal sections. Fill the gaps between the layers of meringue with the mango cream, add another layer of sponge, and repeat.
For decoration, top the cake with fresh berries and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Servings
Once your cake is assembled and beautifully chilled, it's time to serve! 💖 Slice into that gorgeous layered creation to reveal the stunning meringue and creamy filling. **Serve** it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an extra touch of indulgence. 🍦
For a delightful twist, pair this cake with fresh fruits like strawberries or blueberries. These **add-ins** not only enhance the flavors but also create a beautiful presentation! 🍓
Don't forget to sprinkle some edible flowers or mint leaves on top for that Pinterest-worthy aesthetic. **Your friends will be snapping photos** of your masterpiece before they dig in!
Equipment
You'll need different sizes; a larger bowl for mixing batter and a smaller one for beating egg whites.
This will help you achieve the perfect peaks in your meringue and fluffy cake batter.

Variations
If you're looking for a **gluten-free version**, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. 🌾 For those on a plant-based diet, you can easily create a **vegan version** by using flax eggs instead of regular eggs and coconut cream in place of butter.
**Make it even more delightful** by adding a dash of lime or orange zest to both the cream and the confit for a refreshing twist! 🍊 Just remember to adjust sweeteners appropriately to maintain that perfect balance.
Faq
- Can I use something other than eggs for the meringue?
Yes! You can use aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) as a great egg white substitute for a vegan meringue.
- How can I tell when my meringue is done?
Your meringue should have glossy peaks that stand tall and hold their shape. If you can turn the bowl upside down without any risk of spillage, you're ready!
- What should I do if my cake layers are dry?
Make sure to check your oven temperature regularly as ovens may vary. Additionally, a simple syrup can be brushed onto cooled layers to add moisture.
- How do I store leftover cake?
Keep any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Is it okay to freeze the assembled cake?
Yes! You can freeze the uncut assembled cake. Just wrap it tightly in plastic, then foil, and it can be stored for up to 2 months. Thaw before serving, though!
- How can I add more flavor to the cream?
Incorporate different extracts, like almond or coconut, or mix in some finely grated citrus zest to elevate the flavor profile!
