    This is a recipe that is suitable for most of the family and loved and noted by my cousin who specializes in gastronomy, and it will soon be added to the menu.

    Preheat to 250 degrees, then place in the oven and lower to 180. Cook for about 45 minutes, maybe a little less. Very good recipe. I've really adopted it...
  • gwadafofoDecember 29, 2018
    Very well. I used less sugar, and when it was time to put it in the oven, I lowered my oven to 100/150°, which is setting 4. The cake is super light and fluffy. I'm going to make it again today.

    Perfect! Beautiful and delicious cake. I replaced the potato starch with cornstarch, as I couldn't find the product. I also used 50 grams less sugar for personal taste. This cake is delicious and perfectly made.

    Very good but a little dry My suggestion: I cut it in half and added some spread... yum!! (can also be done with jam)
