  • Folding egg whites gently to avoid deflating the batter or filling.
  • Cooking sugar syrup to the precise temperature for Italian meringue.
  • Incorporating gelatin properly (not overheating, fully dissolving).
  • Chilling the assembled cake for at least 6 hours (ideally overnight) to set the filling.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot sugar syrup can cause severe burns. Use caution and keep children away during this step.
  • Raw eggs are cooked in this recipe, but ensure all custards reach safe temperatures.
  • Use caution when handling sharp knives and hot pans.
