How to Make Schaumtorte

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take several minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar.
  5. Gently pour the meringue batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden and a few tiny cracks appear on the surface. Do not overbake!
  7. Let the Schaumtorte cool completely in the pan before topping.
  8. Top with your favorite fresh fruit (berries, sliced peaches, etc.) and a generous dollop of whipped cream.
