- 3 'L' size egg white (or 15g egg white powder and 105g water)

- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp vinegar ( I used apple cider vinegar )
-

- 25g white sugar
- 100g mascarpone cream
-

Instructions
- 1. Cut a piece of parchment paper to cover the bottom and sides of the jelly-roll pan.

- 3. Beat egg whites (or the egg white powder + water mix) in a large bowl or place the egg whites in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed until stiff peaks.
- 4. As you whisk, add gradually white sugar a little at a time. Then add confectioners' sugar. Continue to beat more until thick and glossy. Whisk the cornflour and vinegar in.
- 5. Pour the meringue into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 10 mins at 180°C
- degree and then reduce the heat to 160°C. Bake for another 10 mins.
- 6. Remove from the oven and dust with some extra confectioner's sugar onto the meringue. Turn out on to a clean piece of baking paper and peel the paper off the base. Set the meringue aside for some minutes to cool.
- 7. Whip the heavy cream with sugar to stiff-peaks and then add the mascarpone. Beat lightly until just combined.
- 8. Spread the cream evenly onto the merengue's back, spreading the cream at the far end thinner than the front. Sprinkle with raspberries pieces evenly.
