INGREDIENTS
- 3 eggs, separated
- 90ml water
- 225g Sugar
- 140g flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- For the filling
- 250ml whipped cream
- 85g fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries or raspberries

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Grease and line two round 20cm cake tins.
- Beat the yolks and sugar for 2 minutes and blend in the water. Whisk until firm and creamy - this should take about ten minutes or so.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder into the cake mixture.
- Whip the egg whites until they hold a stiff peak and fold them in to the mixture before spooning into the cake tins.
- Bake in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes, until golden and firm to the touch. Turn out and cool on a wire rack, and fill with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
- Sieve icing sugar on top before serving.
