meringue cake |
6 large (120 grams) egg whites |
1 1/2 cups (castor) sugar |
1 teaspoon white vinegar |
3/4 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 20cm thin layer sponge cake |
topping |
1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream |
1 1/2 tablespoons (20 grams) granulated white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |

Start adding the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until the meringue holds very stiff peaks. Sprinkle the vinegar and cornstarch over the top of the meringue and, with a rubber spatula, fold in.
