Eventually cover the bottom part of the tin with greaseproof paper. - Preheat oven at 190°C / 375°F. Break the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. In a salad bowl, add to the yolks the sugar and the vanilla sugar ; mix well. Then add the melted butter, the lemon juice (mix), and the flour (little by little) ; finally add the baking powder ; mix well again (you should obtain an homogeneous mixture). - Stiff the egg whites with a pinch salt in an electric mixer and gently incorporate them into the mixture. Add the berries and gently mix them into the dough. - Pour the dough into the tin and bake in oven for about 35 / 40 minutes. Take out from tin (take the paper off if needed) and serve warm. You can choose to serve it with a red fruit sauce (red currant / raspberry). Trick : you can use frozen as long as until you totally unfroze them and strain them before use. |
