Critical Success Points

  • Stabilizing egg whites with lemon juice and gradual sugar addition.
  • Folding the meringue gently to retain air.
  • Baking at the correct low temperature (160 °C) to keep the sponge soft.
  • Cooling the cakes completely before frosting.
  • Whipping cream while the bowl is cold for maximum volume.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven and pans with oven mitts.
  • Melted butter is hot; avoid splatter burns.
  • Whisking egg whites at high speed can cause the bowl to spin; keep hands clear.
