Ingredients:

3 large eggs
2 ½ oz. cornflour
1 desert spoon of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 desert spoons of coffee & chickory 
¼ teaspoon of salt
4 oz. sugar

How you do it:

Beat the egg whites until they are firm.

Add the sugar.

Beat again a little.

Add the coffee & chickory and egg yolks.

Beat again a little.

Add the flour, baking powder and salt.

Beat again until it is all mixed in.

Pre heat the oven to medium and cook for 15 minutes.

Don’t forget my mum is a bit frail and she just said to heat the oven to medium and I don’t want to get into an argument with her as to the exact temperature.  She can still give out the evil eye look.

Use a 9” round or square cake tin (grease it with butter).

About half an hour after it has come out of the oven, slice it through the middle (so you can add the whipped cream).

When you are ready to serve it, add the whipped cream and sprinkle icing sugar over the top.  The cream can be sweetened if you want to your own taste.
