Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (separated)
- 3 tablespoons sugar (or a natural sweetener)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for structure)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the Eggs
- Separate the egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
- Make sure no yolk gets into the whites.
2. Whip the Egg Whites
- Add a pinch of salt to the whites.
- Beat until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
3. Mix the Yolks
- In the other bowl, whisk egg yolks with vanilla and cornstarch until smooth.
4. Fold Gently
- Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites.
- Do this slowly to keep the air in the batter.
5. Bake
- Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Line a small baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pour in the batter and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly golden.
6. Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool before removing from the pan.
- It may deflate slightly—that’s normal.
