Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 8-10

Ingredients

For the base:
- 5 fresh eggs
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of flour
- A vial of vanilla essence

For the cream:
- 250 ml milk
- 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar
- A packet of vanilla cake cream (we recommend Dr. Oetker)

For decoration:
- Colored whipped cream (to give a festive look to the cake)

For soaking:
- Burnt sugar syrup (to add a touch of sweetness)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature, as they whip better. Prepare a baking tray lined with butter and flour to prevent the base from sticking.

Step 2: Whip the egg whites
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until frothy, gradually adding the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Continue whipping until the egg whites become glossy and form stiff peaks. This is the secret to a fluffy cake!

Step 3: Prepare the yolks
In another bowl, beat the yolks with the 3 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture becomes light in color and doubles in volume. Gradually adding the sugar will help create an airy texture.

Step 4: Combine the ingredients
Once you have the two components, add the whipped egg whites over the yolks. Use a spatula and gently fold from top to bottom to preserve the airiness of the egg whites. Then, add the 5 tablespoons of flour and the vanilla essence. Mix until everything is well combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Baking
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (medium heat) for about 30 minutes. You can check if it’s baked by using a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Step 6: Prepare the cream
Meanwhile, prepare the vanilla cream. In a bowl, add 250 ml of milk, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and the packet of cake cream. Use a mixer to beat all the ingredients for 3 minutes until the cream becomes thick and homogeneous.

Step 7: Assemble the cake
Once the base has completely cooled, cut it in half. Soak each half with the burnt sugar syrup, then fill with the vanilla cream. Place the other half of the base on top, pressing gently.

Step 8: Decoration
Decorate the cake with colored whipped cream. Use a piping bag to create beautiful designs on top, bringing a splash of color and a festive look to your cake.
