You don't need to serve this cake with anything (like icing, buttercream, ganache, fondant) because it is good as is and is too pretty to be "hidden" ;-) - Well unless you would want to make a "hidden surprise" cake though :)

Materials

400 ml egg whites

175 g sugar

175 g flour

25 g cornstarch

200 g margarine/butter, melted and cooled at room temperature

1 tsp cake emulsifier (without works too, but with cake would be fluffier and lighter)

food colors - liquid or gel

Parchment paper to cover a 9 inch round pan (you can make two cakes if you'd like - should you want to cover the cake with buttercream etc)

Batter

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar and emulsifier

Beat egg whites until fluffy

Beat in sugar a little at a time until thicken

Fold in flour mixture to combine, then fold in melted cooled margarine

Divide batter into bowls and mix them with food colors

NOTE: if your emulsifier is powder, mix it with flour. If using paste-like emulsifier, beat it along egg whites
