- Preparation: 45 min
- Cooking: 60 min
- Makes: 1 serving (143 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 15 g Flour, all-purpose
- 18 g Sugar
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Egg whites, raw
- 25 g Cream, heavy
- 20 g Dulce de leche

Method
- Beat the whole egg with half the sugar until pale and thick, fold in the flour, and bake in a small greased pan at 180°C (355°F) for 12-15 minutes until springy; let cool and slice into thin layers. This is 1 portion; multiply by 10 for a whole cake.
