Instructions:
- Pimm's Cup Fruit Salad
- Prepare the fruit salad with Pimm's. Combine all the ingredients and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
- Cake
- Heat the oven to 160 °C.
- In a large bowl or a stand mixer bowl, whisk the egg whites, extract, cream of tartar, citrus, and salt until they become frothy and airy, which typically takes a few minutes.
- Incorporate half of the granulated sugar and beat for a minute. Add the remaining sugar and continue beating until stiff, shiny peaks form.
- Using a sifter or sieve, sprinkle the flour over the egg white mixture. Gently fold the flour in until just mixed.
- Transfer the batter into an ungreased tube pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes or until the cake's center bounces back when touched gently.
- Take out the cake and let it cool upside down for two hours. Yes, it needs to be upside down for two hours.
- Carefully loosen the cake from the sides of the tube pan using a small knife, then release the cake. Cut it in half horizontally, place the bottom half on a serving plate, spread half of the whipped cream on top, add the other cake half, finish with the remaining whipped cream, and garnish with the Pimm's fruit and mint leaves.
