This, of course is a wonderful cake, as are all the components of the 'Bostini' recipe.
I avoided this cake a long time because of the whole 'flower nail' thing. I finally decided to just give it a go with a regular nail. Also, I wanted to make another heavenly cake for the upcoming Simchat Torah holiday.
I thought this might work. When it went into the oven with the batter poured around it, it was standing up, but when I took it out of the oven it had sunk to the bottom. Oh, well. Seemed to come out O.K.
Batter ingredients.
Batter ready. Love the orange zest.
Egg whites. I could not find the cream of tartar (I always say that with a heavy pirate voice 'AR' and a squinted eye), so I had to wing it.
Batter ready. Looks O.K.
The 'Ez Man' was with me for moral support.
I personally could not see the point in putting this cake upside down. It seemed to sink slightly anyway and I could have taken off the spring-form right away as it was not firmly attached.
judging from the top photo it doesn't look like your cake turned out dense from not cooling upside down...so good to know! funny about the regular nail falling over.
