Recipe story

Quick sponge cake 5 eggs, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 tablespoon vinegar, fruit as desired: cherries, strawberries, kiwi, mango, 1/2 cup fresh juice of any kind, whipped cream, lemon zest. Method: Beat the eggs for 4 minutes, then add the sugar, vanilla, baking powder, lemon zest, and vinegar, and mix for 5 minutes. Then gradually add the flour, stirring with a spoon until the flour dissolves. Line a tray with parchment paper, pour in the batter, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave it until it cools down. Do not open the oven so the cake does not collapse. Remove the cake and let it cool, then cut it into 3 layers. Brush each layer with any fresh juice or milk, add cream and fruit, then repeat with the second layer. For the last layer, decorate only with cream. Cream method: 3 egg whites, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1 squeeze of lemon. Beat the egg whites well until stiff. Put the sugar, water, and lemon on the heat until they boil, then gradually add the hot syrup to the egg whites while beating. This gives you a cooked cream that is free of bacteria.
