Heavenly airy like a cloud

This cake is so airy and light, you could compare it to a cloud. Every piece of it melts in your mouth immediately, it’s so soft and fluffy.

Its consistency is due in part to the way it is made. Not all the eggs are added to the dough at once.

The egg whites are separated from the yolks and beaten separately until fluffy. Only then are the two beaten masses combined in the dough.
