Critical Success Points

  • Beat eggs and sugar until the volume triples (ribbon stage).
  • Fold in the flour with gentle motions to retain the air.
  • Test the cake’s doneness with the fingertip, not with a toothpick.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful when handling the hot oven (160°C).
  • The syrup is very hot; avoid burns.
  • Beating eggs for long periods can cause splatters; use eye protection if necessary.
