Recipes :
175g Eggs
100g Sugar
10g vanilla sugar
75g Flour
25g Cornstarch
6 tablespoons Jam
6 tablespoons Nougatine
100g Nougatine
750 ml Sugar
5 Fruit Mix
Instructions :
Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. I beat this in a stand mixer on medium-high speed for about 10 minutes.
Sift the flour and cornstarch and add to the mixture. Fold this gently into the mixture; you don’t want all the air you whipped in to disappear.
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake the cake base at 180°C/350°F (conventional oven) for 30 minutes. The cake is done when you press lightly on the top and it springs back. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing it to a cake rack.
Meanwhile, prepare the nougatine and jam according to the recipe if you haven’t already.
Let the cake cool completely before you cut it. If, like me, you used a 20 cm/8 inch spring form pan, cut the cake into three layers.
