Instructions
Base
- Preheat oven to 150C fan forced or 160C conventional and line a 20cmx30cm slice tin with baking paper or grease well with butter
- Separate egg whites from yolks, set aside the egg yolks for step 6
- Place egg whites and cream of tartar into the mixer and insert butterfly, whip 2 minutes / speed 3 / mc off
- Add sweetener, whip 2 minutes / speed 3 / mc off
- Remove whipped egg whites and set aside, remove butterfly
- Without washing the bowl, add all remaining ingredients including the yolks, excluding the egg whites, blend 30 seconds / speed 4 / mc on
- Scrape down, blend 10 seconds / speed 4 / mc on
- Add half of the whipped egg whites to the cake mixture, blend 10 seconds / speed 4 / mc off, scrape down and also loosen any mixture from the bottom of the bowl and under the blades
- Add the remaining egg whites, blend 10 seconds / speed 4 / mc off
- If there is still visible unmixed egg whites, using your spatula fold this into the cake mixture to combine. Transfer the cake mixture into the lined tin
- Remove any remaining mixture from the blades by spinning the empty bowl 2 seconds / speed 10 / mc on, add the extra mixture to the tin
- Bake 20-25 minutes checking cake from 20 minutes onwards. You’ll know it’s done as it won’t wobble, and a skewer will come out clean
- Turn off the oven, leave the fan running and oven door ajar and leave the cake in the oven for a further 10 minutes. This will help prevent the cake sinking
- Take the cake out of the oven, allow cake to cool fully then run a butter knife around the edges to loosen and carefully remove from tin
Jam

- Place all ingredients into the mixer, cook 6 minutes / varoma temp / speed 1 / mc on, stay close to the mixer and if it starts to bubble up through the lid turn the temperature down to 100 or turn the machine off for a moment
- Move to a bowl and allow to thicken in the fridge 2 hours minimum
- Move the cake to the fridge
- Once the jam is starting to thicken and set slightly, pour it over the base, spread out evenly and then return the topped cake to the fridge
- Don’t start the marshmallow until the cake and jam are cooled and the jam is on the cake
Marshmallow
- Bloom gelatin by sprinkling onto the water and leaving it to sit for a minute
- Into a very clean mixer place bloomed gelatin water and sweetener, cook 2 minutes / 37C / speed 2 / mc off
- Scrape down and check there is no sweetener sitting on the blades, heat again 2 minutes / 37C / speed 2 / mc off
- Insert butterfly, whip 10 minutes / speed 4 / mc on
- Pour over base and spread out quickly then return to the fridge
Chocolate
- Combine all ingredients in the mixer, chop 5 seconds / speed 7 / mc on, scrape down
- Melt 2 minutes / 50C / speed 2 / mc off
- Allow to cool to room temperature then drizzle over marshmallow and return to the fridge for a final 10 minutes to set

Can you use stevia in these recipes?
Yes you can. There’s a conversion chart for sweeteners here – it’s not 1:1 with stevia, you need to use a much smaller amount. https://www.thermofoodieandthechef.com/sweeteners/
