Step 1
1. First, you need to bake the sponge cake. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the yolks, continuing to beat. Add starch, vanilla, and flour in batches, beating thoroughly to avoid lumps. Pour the batter into a baking pan and place in a preheated oven for 25–30 minutes. Remove the baked sponge cake and let it cool for at least 4 hours.
