Duck Egg Sponge Cake
Description
It is easy and simple to delight your family with a tasty sponge cake if you have duck eggs on hand. Preparing it will not be difficult; the main thing is to preheat the oven in advance and beat the eggs properly. The dessert should not be baked at a higher temperature — the bottom and top of the sponge will burn, while the middle will remain undercooked.

Step 2
Crack the duck eggs into the bowl of a kitchen food processor or into a deep container with high sides if you will be beating them with a mixer. Make sure the container is dry, otherwise the eggs will not whip properly. Since duck egg shells are tougher, handle them carefully so that shell fragments do not get into the container. Add sugar. Beat everything for about 4–5 minutes on the highest speed of the appliance. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Then add the sifted wheat flour and mix it at the lowest speed so as not to release air bubbles from the dough.
