Bake in the preheated oven for 45-70 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. A slight jiggle in the center is acceptable. (45-70 minutes)
08 Step

30 mins
Let the cake cool completely in the baking dish, about 30 minutes. Dust the top generously with confectioners' sugar before serving. (30 minutes)
For the best results, ensure your eggs are at room temperature for optimal volume when whipping.
Sifting the flour prevents lumps and creates a lighter cake texture.
Be patient when folding in the egg whites; gentle movements are key to maintaining airiness.
Baking time may vary depending on your oven; check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
The magic of this cake lies in the separation that occurs during baking. Do not be alarmed by the seemingly thin batter; it will transform beautifully in the oven.
