A savory side dish topped with melt-in-your-mouth pastrami.

Ingredients

Sponge Cake

  • 7 eggs, separated

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

  • 1/2 cup oil

Succulent Pastrami

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar

  • 1/2 – 1 pound (1/4 – 1/2 kilogram) pastrami or corned beef, cut into strips

Directions

Make the Cake

1.

Beat the egg whites with the sugar. Combine the yolks with the rest of the ingredients.

2.

Fold together with the whites.

3.

Pour the batter into three nine-inch round pans. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for 25 minutes or until light brown.

Make the Pastrami

1.

Boil together all the sauce ingredients. Lower the fire and add the pastrami. Cook together for 20–30 minutes.

Assemble

1.

Spoon pastrami over wedges of sponge cake and serve.

Tips:

If you top the cake with something else that’s not so spicy, such as vegetarian liver, you might want to add more seasoning to it.

Notes:

This freezes very well.
