Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough and place it onto the baking sheet, shaping it to fit. Spread the jam evenly over the dough. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites with sugar until thick and foamy. Remove the cake from the oven and spread the beaten egg whites evenly over the surface. Return the cake to the oven, reducing the temperature to 160°C (320°F). Continue baking until the egg whites turn golden brown.
