Notes: |
Personal
Notes: This is a very temperamental recipe. If the eggs are not at
room temperature you will not achieve enough volume.
Measure exactly and add ingredients very slowly or the eggs
will deflate. Make certain all utensils are dry and free of any
oily residue. Avoid opening and closing the oven door and
don't jump, slam any doors or drop heavy objects in the
kitchen ...no raised voices or unkind thoughts either! (this part
is myth) or the cake will turn into a flat yellow piece of rubber.
If using a Kitchen Aid mixmaster the eggs will only need to be
beaten for 8-10 minutes.
We always served it with strawberries in syrup and whipped
cream.
