Critical Success Points

  • Infusing milk with vanilla beans
  • Whipping egg whites to stiff peaks
  • Folding the whites gently to retain air
  • Baking until a clean skewer test
  • Brushing the warm cake with syrup
  • Achieving the right glaze consistency

Safety Warnings

  • Hot syrup can cause burns – handle with care.
  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot cake pan.
  • Raw egg whites carry a risk of salmonella; ensure they are fully whipped and the cake is baked thoroughly.
  • Alcohol is optional; omit for children or avoid if sensitive.
