Ingredients

  • 100g flour

  • 100g sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • ½ bag baking powder

  • Butter and flour for the mold

Directions

  • Mix the sugar and eggs.

  • Put them in a water bath and whip until you obtain a creamy texture, i.e. it shouldn’t be liquid but not hard either. The temperature shouldn’t exceed 45°C so as not to cook the eggs.

  • Take it off the water bath.

  • Add the sifted flour and baking powder, fold with a spatula.

  • Butter and flour a ø17cm mold.

  • Pour the batter into the mold.

  • Bake at 180°C for roughly 20 minutes.

  • Let it cool down completely on a grid before cutting it.
