Critical Success Points

  • Do not grease the sides of the pan; this is essential for the cake's signature crater.
  • Whip egg whites to firm peaks, not stiff or soft.
  • Fold egg whites gently to avoid deflating the batter.
  • Do not overbake; cake should be golden and slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Cool cake completely before unmolding.

Safety Warnings

  • Raw eggs: Wash hands and utensils after handling.
  • Sharp knives: Use caution when slicing strawberries and cutting cake.
  • Hot oven: Use oven mitts when handling hot pans.
