5
eggs, plus 2 egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon mixed grated orange and lemon zest
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup good-quality white dessert wine
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint fresh strawberries, trimmed
Preheat
oven to 375°F. Separate the 5 eggs and beat the egg yolks with
sugar in a large bowl for 3 to 5 minutes, or until very light in
color. Mix in the orange and lemon zest. Set aside.
Combine
flour and salt, and sift a little at a time into the sugar and egg
mixture, beating continually until it is incorporated. Add the dessert
wine and the olive oil in the same fashion.
In
a separate bowl, beat the 7 egg whites until they stand in stiff
peaks, and then gently fold them into the mixture thoroughly. |
