How to Make Schaum Torte Seafoam Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to melt the butter evenly before removing to cool.
  2. Separate 12 large eggs, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites. Place egg yolks in a separate bowl.
  3. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt using a stand mixer on high speed for 15 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating on high speed for another 15 minutes, until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds its shape when you lift the beaters.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently whisk together 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  6. Gently fold the vanilla mixture into the egg white mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  8. Bake for 1 hour, or until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before carefully removing the sides of the springform pan.
  10. Once cooled, carefully slice off any slightly browned crust from the top of the cake.
  11. Top with your favorite unsweetened fruit (e.g., berries, sliced peaches) and sweetened whipped cream. Gently replace the removed cake crust.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to fully set.
