- Preheat oven to 325u0b0F. Grease and flour a 10 inch springform pan. Cream butter, vanilla extract, 2/3 cup sugar and a pinch of salt. Add egg yolks. Beat in whole eggs, 1 at a time, alternating with 2 tbsp flour, until both are incorporated. Add chocolate. Mix cocoa, baking powder and 1 1/4 cups flour together then sift in and mix well. Transfer to prepared pan, smooth out and sprinkle with red currants, blueberries and raspberries. Bake for 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff, gradually adding remaining sugar. Add lemon juice and coconut. Remove cake from oven and spread with meringue, so the top has a waved effect. Bake for 25 mins, or until a skewer comes out clean. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and allow to cool in the pan. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
