Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Cotton Candy Cake
  1. Start by separating the large eggs, ensuring no yolks mix with the whites. Allow them to come to room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour, cornstarch, and cream of tartar. Set aside.
  3. Whip the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, then gradually add half of the sugar and continue until stiff peaks form.
  4. Whisk yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and airy. Combine this with the whipped egg whites after adding the dry ingredients.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture in three batches, ensuring no flour pockets remain.
  6. Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until golden.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Garnish with edible glitter and fresh berries.
