Step 1
1. First, beat the eggs with sugar. Add a small amount of baking soda neutralized with vinegar, and starch. Gradually add flour, continuing to whisk to prevent lumps from forming. The batter should be quite thick, but not too stiff. Divide the resulting mixture into 3 parts. Immediately place the first part into a preheated oven and bake into a cake layer.
