Method:

1. Grease 9 x 1 1/2-inch round layer pan. Line with waxed paper and grease again. In small bowl with mixer at high speed beat eggs until fluffy.

2. Gradually add sugar and salt; beat until mixture is doubled in bulk and mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon, about 5 minutes.

3. Sift flour and corn starch over egg mixture; thoroughly fold in. Pour into prepared pan.

4. Bake in 350°F oven 25 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.

5. Place on serving plate. Arrange fruit as desired on top of sponge layer. Spoon glaze evenly over fruit. Let set 30 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream.

Glaze: In small saucepan mix together 1 Tbs corn starch, 1 cup apple juice and 1 Tbs lemon juice. Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat and boil 1 minute. Cool.
