    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan by lining it with parchment paper.

    2

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and 100 g of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

    4

    Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the red currants evenly over the top.

    6

    In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently spread the meringue over the red currant-topped batter, smoothing it out evenly.

    7

    Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and the cake is baked through.

    8

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
