What you just looked at is a most delicious cake , no flour , just egg whites a scant amount of cream of tartar and castor sugar .
Pudim Molokov .......Poached Portuguese Meringue
First preheat your oven to 160 deg C
Remove all racks , leaving one rack on the lowest position .
Bring a pot of water to boil .
Lightly spray a bundt pan and sprinkle with 2 tbs of castor sugar , tilt to cover all areas of the pan .
Beat 10 egg whites and 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar on medium speed till foamy .
Then beat in 1 cup of castor sugar , 1 tbs at a time , continue to beat till soft peaks form .
Beat in 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp of almond essence .
Transfer the mix to a bundt pan .
Now cut through the mixture with a butter knife , to release air bubbles .
Place the bundt pan inside a roasting tray and pour boiling water into the roasting tray to the depth of 1"
Place tray in the preheated oven and bake until meringue is set and the top is golden brown and pulling away from the sides of the pan . ( about 45 mins )
Remove from the oven , you may need to loosen the edges with a spatula .
Invert straight onto a plate .
Fill the middle with fresh berries or fruit in season with a syrup , I topped my pudim molokov with chia seeds , coconut flakes and almond slivers .
This is a delicacy ...imagine biting into a cloud or swallowing a gently flavoured puff of air .
It`s exquisite..
Thank you Einstein ..
