Equipment

  • Stand mixer or electric hand mixer
  • 9-inch springform pan

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil for greasing pan
  • 8 egg whites
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup walnut halves
  • ½ cup pecan halves
  • 3 oz Maria cookies or plain animal crackers

For The Toppings :

  • 8 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
  • ½ cup light sour cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb strawberries hulled and thinly-sliced top to bottom

Instructions

  • The oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with olive oil after lining the bottom with parchment paper. Place aside.
  • Cream of tartar and egg whites should be added to a stand mixer or a sizable basin. For about 3 minutes, beat at high speed until soft peaks develop.
    Granulated sugar, vanilla, and baking powder are gradually added while the mixer is on low.
  • The mixture should be beaten for a another minute, or until shiny, glossy, and stiff peaks form. Place aside.
    Put cookies, walnuts, and pecans in a food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is ground.
  • The nut mixture should be added to the egg white mixture. Gently fold everything together until it's well combined without over-mixing.
    Fill the prepared pan with a thin layer of the cake batter. For 50 minutes, bake.
  • After taking the cake out of the oven, let it cool completely on the counter for about two hours.

FOR THE TOPPING

  • To a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Until fully smooth, beat on high.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving plate after carefully removing it from the pan.
    Sliced strawberries are used as decoration, and cream cheese topping is layered on top of the cake.
