Recipe Tips

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps them combine more easily and results in a smoother batter.
• Sift Dry Ingredients: Sifting the flour, cacao powder, and cornstarch helps to avoid lumps and ensures an even texture in the cake.
• Folding Technique: When folding the egg whites into the batter, do it gently to retain as much air as possible. This will make your cake light and fluffy.

How To Store Malaga Dessert

• Refrigeration: Store the Malaga Dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: If you need to store it for longer, you can freeze the dessert. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
