5 eggs separated
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 pinch cinnamon
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup masa harina
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 13X9 baking dish. In a large bowl, beat 3/4 c sugar, egg yolks, and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Fold in the vanilla extract, orange zest, cinnamon, sorghum flour, masa harina, baking powder, xanthan gum, and milk.
2
In another large bowl, beat egg whites to soft peaks, adding cream of tartar after about 20 seconds. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 c sugar and continue beating until egg whites are glossy and firm, but not dry.
3
Gently fold the egg whites into the cake mixture. Pour this batter into the baking dish, spreading out evenly. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Pierce cake all over with a toothpick.
4
Whisk together the milks, and pour evenly over cake. Allow to cool for a bit, and cover and place in refrigerator for 4 hours, up to overnight.
5
Before serving, place the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer bowl and whisk to stiff peaks, and nice and thick. Spread over cake and top with strawberries and mint leaves.
6
Allow to chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
