One serving has 246 kcal and 7 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of selenium (35%), choline (28%) and riboflavin (26%). Ready in 40 minutes.
- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (90 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
- Contains: egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 40 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 30 g Sugar
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply every amount by 10 for a whole cake.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a bowl for 8-10 minutes, ideally with an electric mixer, until pale, thick and roughly tripled in volume; the mixture should hold a ribbon trail when the whisk is lifted.
- Sift the flour over the top and fold it in gently with a spatula in a few light strokes, taking care not to knock out the air.
- Pour into a buttered and lined tin and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and just set but the centre still soft and a little moist, in the traditional Ovar style.
- Cool briefly in the tin before turning out; slice gently, as the crumb is very delicate.
