Ingredients

KitchenAid food processor and set of 5 KitchenAid non-stick molds

Preparation

1. First of all, we are going to separate the yolks from the whites. It is very important that you perfectly separate the yolks from the whites, for this you can use the Tellier egg white separator .
2. Once you have separated the egg whites from the yolks, take the yolks and beat them with the help of a mixer. In our case we have used the KitchenAid food processor . It is very important that the bowl where you put the egg whites is completely dry. At medium speed, when they are half-beaten, you have to add half of the sugar. Set the beaten egg whites aside.
3. Place the egg yolks in the bowl and add half of the remaining sugar. Beat until everything is well combined and smooth.
4. When the yolks have a whitish and homogeneous color, it is time to add the flour. It is very important that in this recipe you sift the flour well. For this, you can use the KitchenAid sifter accessory .
5. Add the flour very slowly, a third at a time. Now is the time to add some essence or citrus peel if you want to give the cake a specific flavour. It is important to mix in the flour very slowly so that the mixture does not absorb air.
6. Once you have added 2/3 of the flour, you will have to incorporate the yolks with the egg whites. You have to do it with very slow and enveloping movements to prevent the egg whites from collapsing.
7. Now you just have to add the last third of flour to the mixture.
8. Pour the batter into the round KitchenAid mould and, using a fork, stir the batter a few times to distribute it evenly. Finally, tap the mould on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
9. Cook in the oven for 40 minutes at 180ºC.
10. And you're done!

This delicious cake is delicious just like it is, accompanied by a few ounces of chocolate. But it is also ideal to fill it with chocolate, jam, cream or custard, or to cover it with chocolate and fruit, so it is a very good option as a base to later personalize it to your taste. A recipe to take note of when making up your list of recipes to keep in your wardrobe.
