In a large bowl, combine half the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Add the chick pea mixture and mix well. In a bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar in a slow, thin stream, beating until whites form peaks that are stiff but not dry. Fold whites into chick pea mix then pour the batter into prepared tins and bake for 35 minutes at 180 degrees centigrade or until toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool the cakes completely. Remove from tins and drizzle juice over each round then dust with icing sugar. Garnish with the strawberry.
