Ingredients
- 175g melted butter
- 160g egg whites (about 4)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 65g almond meal or white flour
- 240g icing sugar
- 165g coconut
- 1½ cup frozen berries
Toffeed Blackcurrant Macaroon Cake
Method
- Melt your butter
- Heat the oven to 150C
- Completely line a tin with one piece of baking paper, (don't skip this or do a separate bottom and sides- it has to be enclosed)
- Sift your flour/almonds and icing sugar together
- Beat eggs until soft peaks form, slowly at first then more vigorously
- Lightly pour in butter and vanilla to one side of the eggs
- Lightly place flour, icing sugar and coconut on top
- Then, ever so gently and using a metal spoon fold it together
- Stop when you are almost sure that it is combined
- Use an action that does not press out the air but lifts and folds
- Pour into prepped tin and then sprinkle with the berry fruit
- Cook for about 80 minutes, but sometimes it takes way longer, I don't know why
- It is cooked when the middle does not wobble
- If you have to go out or, if you have given up hope, then just turn the oven off and leave the cake in there
