Step 1
First, we will bake the sponge cakes. You will need 4 sponge cakes for a large cake. The ingredients listed are for 1 sponge cake measuring 36x22 cm. Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff, gradually adding sugar. Then, gradually add the yolks and 2 tablespoons of butter while continuing to beat. Next, gradually sift in the flour mixed with baking powder and gently fold it in. Bake at 180°C for about 15–20 minutes.
