Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Lightly mist an 8 inch (20cm) springform pan with cake release and line the bottom and sides with baking paper. Cover the base of the tin with two layers of foil as we will be cooking this cake in a water bath.
- Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites into a spotlessly clean mixing bowl and the yolks into another. Make sure that no egg yolk (not even a tiny speck!) gets into the egg whites as this will prevent them from whisking.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt and vanilla bean paste to the bowl with the yolks and stir thoroughly to combine. Sift the cornstarch into the bowl and stir it in.
- Use a hand mixer (or a stand mixer) to whisk the egg whites until they form peaks. You want stiff peaks but stop short of beating them for too long as they can become watery (see Lucy's tip).
- Gradually fold the egg whites into the bowl with the yolk mixture. Use a metal spoon or spatula to gently fold the whisked egg whites into the batter, making sure to scrape all the way down to the bottom of the mixing bowl to ensure the ingredients are combined well. Don't mix too vigorously – you want to keep as much air into the whisked eggs as possible so that the cake rises well.
- Place the cake tin into a deep roasting tray and pour the batter into the pan. Carefully pour water into the tray until it comes just under halfway up the cake pan, making sure not to splash any into the batter.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the cake is well risen and the top is golden. Turn the oven off but leave the cake in it to cool down completely then chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or even overnight until the cake is set.
- Dust with powdered sugar and top with sliced strawberries or other fruit. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Egg whites will stubbornly refuse to whip up into the airy cloud we require if the bowl is greasy or if any yolk gets into the whites. For this reason it is best to use a glass or metal bowl as plastic containers can hold on to grease.
- Beat the egg whites until they just form stiff peaks but avoid beating them for too long. If the egg whites are whisked for too long the protein strands break down and can cause the egg whites to release moisture and lose their ability to hold on to air. This will make the cake dense and rubbery so avoid at all costs!
- Do not open the oven door during the baking as it may cause the cake to deflate. If you must take a look, towards the end of baking time only, make sure to open the oven door only a crack and shut it gently.
