    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan.

    Beat the whites to stiff peaks in a bowl. Beat in the yolks, one by one. Continuing to beat, add the sugar and vanilla, and finally the flour. You should have a very high, moussy batter.

    Pour the batter into the pan and bake until golden on top, risen high, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Be sure it is fully cooked when you take it out - it is a big cake. Let the cake cool 15 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan and let cool completely. Transfer the cake to a serving platter.

    Cover with blackberries and white currants. Serve with whipped cream, creme fraiche, parfait, or ice cream.

      Wonderful tasty light and delicious. 400 for an hour is too long but don't go the distance by time at 30 mins note the golden color and pierce it with a toothpick to check done ness the cake will tell you when it's ready. It was a big hit at the table.

      I have made this cake twice now and the results were fantastic. Rave reviews from my family and co-workers. I live at 5,000 feet and so the cake really didn't need a full hour. The batter is very light and airy. I used my kitchen aid to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. I lowered the heat to 375 degrees and checked it after 45 mins. I used strawberries and blueberries or whatever berries are on sale. Thanks Laura!!
