Quantity Unit Ingredient

For the Sponge Cake:

4 eggs, size L
100 g fine caster sugar
1 pinch of salt
4 g powdered turmeric
100 g all-purpose flour, sifted

For the Cream:

1 Liter Oldenburger Performance Whipping Cream, 35% fat
175 g fine caster sugar
2 tbsp vanilla paste
simple syrup

For the Garnish:

1 fresh dragonfruit
gold sugar

preparation

Preheat the oven to 170°C without fan and 10% humidity. Place the eggs, sugar and salt in the mixing bowl of a planetary mixer and blend at low speed for one minute. Increase the speed to full and beat for 10 minutes until very fluffy and light in colour. Add the turmeric powder and beat for another minute to mix. Gently fold in flour. Place sponge mix in paper lined 18 cm springform, bake for 35 minutes. Cool on rack, remove from pan cool completely and place in fridge, wrapped in cling film over night before proceeding. Pour the sponge mix into a paper-lined 18 cm springform pan and bake for 35 minutes. Cool the cake on a rack; after it has cooled completely, take it out of the pan, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate it over night before continuing.

Assembly

Beat the Oldenburger Performance Whipping Cream and sugar until soft peaks form, then add the vanilla and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Chill. Slice the cake horizontally into three layers of equal thickness. Put the bottom layer in a cake ring and generously brush it with simple syrup, then spread ⅓ of the cream onto it. Place next layer on top, brush generously with syrup and add ⅓ of the cream. Repeat with last layer and more cream, reserving at least half of the remaining cream to garnish. Gently press cake to even out. Chill for 3 hours and frost with cream.


The Final Touch

Garnish cake with cream, dragonfruit cubes and slices and gold coloured sugar.

Tips from Chefs to Chefs

The baking tin must be grease-free, as otherwise the sponge cake base will not rise during baking.
