Egg Whites 3
Powdered Sugar 1/4 cup

2 -3 tbsp Corn flour
1/4 cup Milk

Instructions

For the discs
Separate the egg whites and yolks in two bowls.
Beat the egg whites and castor sugar until soft peaks form.
To this add milk, corn flour, powdered sugar and ground almonds and mix so that a meringue like batter is formed.
Preheat the oven at 150 degree celcius .
Dust a baking tray and pour this meringue batter with a spoon in your desired templates.
Usually it is round but I used star shaped templates for the extra zing.
Bake for 20 mins or until it turns golden in color.
Allow it to cool down.
For the mocha cream
Beat the egg yolks, butter, coffee granules, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract in an ice bath.
Keep the cream in the freezer for 1/2 hour.
Assemble the cake.
Take half the number of baked discs and spread the cream. Top it with the other discs.
Dust the sides and top with powdered almond and confectioners sugar mixture.
Garnish with cherries.
Keep in the fridge until you serve.
Your yummilicious mocha Japonaise cake is ready to eat.
