Place a candy circle on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
The sponge cake will swell a lot during cooking. To increase the height of the circle, line it with a strip of butter paper.
Pour the dough into the ring and bake for 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 180 ° C.
Remove the sponge cake when it comes out of the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
To prepare the syrup that will soak the sponge cake, bring the water mixed with sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, then turn off the heat and pour the rum. Let the drink cool.
For the Italian meringue, heat the water and sugar in a small saucepan to 121°C to get a syrup.
Enjoy !
