Critical Success Points
- • Do not grease the sides of the pan; this is essential for the cake's signature crater.
- • Whip egg whites to firm peaks, not stiff or soft.
- • Fold egg whites gently to avoid deflating the batter.
- • Do not overbake; cake should be golden and slightly wobbly in the center.
- • Cool cake completely before unmolding.
Safety Warnings
- • Raw eggs: Wash hands and utensils after handling.
- • Sharp knives: Use caution when slicing strawberries and cutting cake.
- • Hot oven: Use oven mitts when handling hot pans.
