Critical Success Points

  • Whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture triples in volume.
  • Use a very cold bowl for the mascarpone whipped cream.
  • Do not over‑bake the sponge so it stays moist.
  • Brush the sponge with milk to prevent it from drying out.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with kitchen gloves.
  • Be careful of splashes from the very cold cream.
