DirectionsEdit

SpongecakeEdit

1. In the bowl of your mixer place the egg whites.
2. Beat at low speed first and then increase the speed to high until soft peaks form.

4. Add the egg yolks one by one, beating well after each addition.
5. Now mix the flour with the baking powder and add to the mixture alternating with the milk.
6. This operation has to be done quickly or the batter will lose the lightness in it.

FrostingEdit

2. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites to soft peaks.

4. Beat until no longer warm.

To Serve Edit
