Vegetarian version of Norwegian "skumkake" ( foamcake )

One of the most delicious Norwegian cake I know ❤

This is normally made with gelatin but as I am a vegetarian I had to try another way to do it and guess what... that works just fine with agar agar, so this is what I did !

I also reduced by half the normal amount of sugar because well... there is more than enough 😋

So here is my recipe :

Ingredients 

4 egg whites

2 dl sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 tsp agar agar

1 dl water

150 gr chocolate chips

30 gr butter

*Whip the egg whites with the sugar and vanilla until you get a firm and shiny mixture

*boil the agar agar with the water and then let it cool until mild

*add slowly the liguid to your meringue while you whip it with an electric mixer.

*continue to whip for 5 mn

*Put your mixture in a form and let it cool in the fridge for 1 hour

*melt the chocolate with the butter and cover your foamy cake with it

*let the cake cool in the fridge for another 30 mn 

Tadaaaaaaaaaa !

That was easy wasn't it ?

Try it at home and say me how it was ❤

PS : don't throw out the egg yolks, plan to have an omelet on the same day and mix it with your egg yolks 😉
