Welcome back to Courtney Cooks Star Wars, your blog for Star Wars recipe geekery.
This week I’m going back to dessert with Air Cake. The recipe I’ve chosen is pretty involved, so this would be considered difficult. Air cake is a Corellian dessert made with carbosyrup and fruit. The dish was originally served just prior to the Battle of Endor, during the Vor-cal Feast according to Lords of the Expans e, a boxed set supplement to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. (Thanks to Wookiepedia for that info).
Carbosyrup is described as thick sugar syrup. Air cake is not described fully, but here I imagine it to be somewhat like a meringue. If you’ve never made a meringue, this is going to be tricky, but fun. Have patience, this recipe is time consuming, but worth it.
Corellian Air Cake
Ingredients for the meringue (yields 6 meringues):
3 large egg whites at room temperature
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
Dash of salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
Ingredients for the topping:
1/2 of a half pint of blueberries
¾ of half pint of raspberries
1/8 cup water
1/8 cup sugar
½ tsp. Lemon zest
Directions:
Enjoy the cake all, and Happy Birthday RPK IV.
