Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 cup colorful sprinkles (natural)
- 2 tablespoons plant-based dairy (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Separate the egg whites from the yolks and bring them to room temperature to ensure maximum volume when whipped. Pre-measure the sugar, gluten-free flour blend, cornstarch, natural gelling agent, and sprinkles so everything is ready.
- Whip the Egg Whites: Using a clean bowl and whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to whip until stiff, glossy peaks are achieved. Add apple cider vinegar to stabilize the foam and enhance lift.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the gluten-free flour blend, cornstarch, and natural gelling agent to ensure an even, light mixture.
- Fold Dry Ingredients Into Egg Whites: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the whipped egg whites in small batches, taking care not to deflate the mixture. Lastly, fold in the colorful sprinkles evenly without losing airiness.
- Fill Mini Cake Molds and Bake: Lightly grease mini cake molds or line with parchment paper for easy removal. Spoon the batter evenly into each mold, filling about three-quarters full. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and springy to the touch.
- Cool and Remove: Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the molds for 10 minutes. Carefully remove and transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving or decorating.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for better volume when whipping the whites.
- Bring egg whites to room temperature for easier fluffing.
- Fold dry ingredients gently to keep air bubbles intact.
- Bake at a consistent temperature to prevent collapsing.
- Add sprinkles at the end to prevent color bleeding.
- Avoid overmixing to prevent deflating the batter.
