Glory in the mellow yellow glow of something so delicious on your plate with this easy-peasy fluff cake. It's the perfect cool-weather dessert - hearty and good, while making the most of late-season citrus. 

Ingredients

4 free-range eggs, separated

2 tsp vanilla paste

Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons

1 cup icing sugar

1 cup plain flour

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

125g unsalted butter, melted

425ml milk, warmed

½ tsp cream of tartar

¼ cup caster sugar

Warmed berries, whipped cream and icing sugar, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 170C fan-forced (190C conventional). Put yolks, vanilla, zest and icing sugar in a bowl and whisk for 5 minutes, until very light. Sift flour and bicarb together and fold in, alternating with butter, lemon juice and milk.

  2. Whisk egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy, then add 2 teaspoons caster sugar and continue whisking, adding sugar a little at a time, until soft peaks form. Fold gently into lemon mix. 

  3. Spoon into a well-buttered 2L baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until just firm to touch and top has darkened slightly. Serve hot with berries, cream and a dusting of icing sugar.
