Preparation

  1. For the Sponge:

    • Preheat an oven to 170c. Line three half gastronome trays or sponge tins (20cm linewith baking paper/non-stick baking mats. Spray oil spray to prevent further sticking.
    • Halve the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds from the pod.
    • Place the seeds, sugar and eggs into a kitchen mixer and whisk until doubled in size and thick and creamy.
    • Sift the flour and carefully fold in. Pour into the lined baking trays and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and set
    • Remove from the oven and place the cake layers on trays to cool.

    • Place the milk into a bowl and add the CARTE D'OR Lemon mousse and Limoncello liqueur.
    • Whisk for 2 minutes at a slow speed followed by 5 minutes at a high speed.

  3. For the Meringue:

    • Place the sugar then gently add the water place the pan on the heat and bring to the boil.
    • If the sugar is coming up the sides of the pan brush down with a little water to prevent it from crystallising.
    • Using a thermometer take the sugar up to 120c. When the sugar is at 110c start the electric whisk on the egg whites.
