By liliaturcin5

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 125 g of flour

Preparation

  1. Mix the eggs and sugar in a saucepan and bring everything to a medium heat and whisk these two ingredients slowly until a temperature close to 50°C.
  2. To know the temperature, don’t panic, there are two solutions. Either you have a pastry thermometer, and you just need to check the temperature regularly until it reaches 50°C, otherwise, it’s simpler, take the temperature with your finger. Knowing that our body temperature is 37°C, the sensation of heat on the finger should be warm, but far from burning. As soon as you feel good heat on your finger, remove the pan from the heat.
  3. Pour everything into a salad bowl and beat with an electric mixer until completely cooled. The preparation becomes whitish and sticks together.
  4. Meanwhile, weigh the flour and sift it through a fairly fine sieve. Butter and flour a sponge cake mold A mold between 20 and 25 cm in diameter.
  5. When the egg and sugar mixture has cooled, gently incorporate the flour using a wooden spatula in 2 or 3 steps. Cook at 180° for 15 to 20 min.
