4 eggs
160g sugar
220g soft butter
1 lemon
200g flour
1 packet baking powder
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a cake pan with 10g butter. Set aside in a cool place.
Break the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks.
Beat the yolks into the sugar until the mixture turns pale.
Grate the zest from the lemon, and squeeze out the juice.
Add the zest and the juice to the egg mixture, and then mix in the rest of the
soft butter, cut in pieces.
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then slowly blend it into the egg and
lemon mixture, turning it to create a thick, smooth homogenous whole.
Beat the egg whites into firm peaks and gently fold them into the final prepared
mixture.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
Let it cool before removing it from the pan and serving.
Bon appétit !!!
