First, you need to bake a sponge cake. I use a tried-and-true and very simple recipe. Beat the eggs with sugar until you get a thick, fluffy foam.

Step 2
Divide the mixture into three parts. Mix the flour with the starch and divide it into three parts (60 g each). Add a portion of the flour to the egg mixture, pour in the raisins and stir gently. Place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30–40 minutes.
