Divide it into 3 equal parts, roll each one and bake 3 cakes in the oven at medium temperature (180-200 ° C). Check the readiness of the cakes with a pointed match or a wooden toothpick, if it turns out to be dry, then the cake is baked.
Step 3
For the cream, beat the chilled egg whites into a stiff, stable foam. Without stopping whisking, add syrup from any jam in small portions. It is preferable if the jam is sweet and sour. A very beautiful and delicious cake will turn out with cherry jam or apricot syrup.
Step 4
After the cakes have cooled, brush them with protein cream. Apply it to both the top crust and the sides of the cake. Decorate the baked goods with jam berries.
