Preparation

• Pre heat the oven to 200 Degree celsius/ 400 degree F or Gas 6. Grease a 20 cm round cake tin and dust with flour. Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl over a pan of hot water.
• Continue to whisk until the mixture had doubled the volume and is light and creamy. Remove from heat and continue to whisk until cold and thick.
• This is called the Ribbon Stage as the mixture will trail off the whisk in ribbon when you lift it out of the mixture.
• Lightly foldin the flour and melted butter. Gently pour the mix into prepared tin and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes.
  
• The easiest way to test is with a skewer, which will come out clean when the sponge is ready.
• Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin. Then turn out and enjoy.
