Easy Gâteau de Savoie (Airy French Cake) rich and flavorful

1 Whisk (mix with a whisk until the mixture turns pale) the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar packet.

2 Incorporate the flour and starch mixture that have been sifted together.

3 Heat the oven to 320°F (160°C) (gas mark 5+).

4 Whip the 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form; incorporate 2 tablespoons into the yolk/sugar mixture with a whisk, then gently fold in the remaining whipped whites by cutting and lifting with a spatula.

5 Pour into a sponge cake mold, Teflon or Flexipan type (24 cm diameter) and bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes (test with a needle).
