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... -

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)
