For a light and fat-free dessert, let yourself be tempted by our Savoy cake! Also known as "biscuit de Savoie", this extra easy recipe will only require a few ingredients, most certainly already present in your cupboards;-) Let yourself be tempted by our detailed recipe and video ;-)

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
