Ingredients

4 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup potato starch
1 lemon peel
4 egg whites

Preparation

Separate the whites from the egg yolks. Add the sugar to the yolks and stir until the mixture whitens and becomes creamy.
Add the flour and cornstarch and mix well. Add the lemon zest and stir. Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Add the whites to the previous mix and combine gently, lifting the mixture over the whites, so you don't crush them.
Pour into a greased pan and cook for 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
There you are, your Savoy cake is ready!

Observations:

Starch: it is essential, it will give this so airy and recognizable texture of the Savoy cake.
Lemon zest: you can replace it with other flavors
