- 5 pcsEggmedium size
- 100 gFlouror all-purpose flour
- 50 gPotato Starchpotato starch
- Vanilla Essence or Extractto taste (a little)
- 1 pcsLemon Zestzest of whole lemon, only yellow part
Method
- Place 150g of granulated sugar and 5 medium eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer. Immediately start beating on high speed.
- Beat for 10-15 minutes until the mixture increases in volume about 5 times and leaves a trail (ribbon stage).
- Meanwhile, sift together 100g all-purpose flour and 50g potato starch onto a piece of baking paper.
- With the mixer running on high, add the flour mixture in three batches, allowing a few seconds between each addition. Continue mixing until fully incorporated (about 2-3 minutes total).
- Turn off the mixer. Add vanilla extract and the grated zest of one lemon (only the yellow part). Fold gently with a spatula from bottom to top.
- Pour the batter into a buttered and floured cake pan.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-22 minutes. If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil. Test with a toothpick; if it comes out wet, bake for 3 more minutes.
- Once done, let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes to cool slightly, then unmold and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- The cake is very soft; wait until completely cool before cutting or serving.
