Analyzing cooking steps...
This recipe is based on visual analysis as there is no spoken narration. Pay close attention to the visual cues in the video.
The soft peak stage of the meringue is crucial for the cake's signature jiggly texture. Do not overwhip to stiff peaks.
Folding the batter gently is essential to maintain the airiness from the meringue.
Baking in a water bath (bain-marie) ensures even cooking and a moist, tender result.
