Critical Success Points
- • Beat eggs and sugar until the volume triples (ribbon stage).
- • Fold in the flour with gentle motions to retain the air.
- • Test the cake’s doneness with the fingertip, not with a toothpick.
Safety Warnings
- • Be careful when handling the hot oven (160°C).
- • The syrup is very hot; avoid burns.
- • Beating eggs for long periods can cause splatters; use eye protection if necessary.
