This time the cake would have risen nicely if the baking oven hadn't thrown a tantrum. Or maybe I accidently pushed the "broil" button, I don't know for sure. But the cake turned dark brown on the surface before the temperature even reached 375ºF! Something went wrong. I quickly covered the cake with aluminum foil and started the process again. In the end it was not so bad all circumstances considered.
Ingredients:
(A combination of Aunt Inge's and my dad's recipes)
4 eggs
4 Tblsp warm water
150 g sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
100 g flour
100 g starch
3 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
Directions:
Divide eggs into yolk and whites. Add a tiny pinch of salt to the eggwhites and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the fridge.
In a large bowl beat egg yolks with sugar, water and vanilla essence to a foamy consistence. With a wooden spoon carefully fold the beaten eggwhites into the egg and sugar blend.
Mix flour, starch and baking powder and sift over the egg blend.
Gently fold the flour into the blend. Do not stir!
Pour cake mix into a cake form and set it into the cold baking oven. Turn heat to 350 - 375˚F and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Let cake cool in the form for 15 minutes before loosening off the rim with a knife.
When thoroughly cool the cake can be cut into layers and decorated.
That will happen tomorrow morning.

Heute habe ich einen Bisquit gebacken, der mir auch gelungen wäre hätte der Ofen nicht verrückt gespielt.
