I would like to suggest a recipe for a yeast sponge cake for cakes from the Italian chef Valentino Bontempi.

Let's prepare the ingredients so that everything is at hand. Pour yeast and starch into flour, stir.

Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Put the proteins in the refrigerator. In order to beat the yolks, you need a 3 or 4 liter container. Pour sugar over the yolks and beat with a mixer until a creamy mass is obtained (the sugar should dissolve), it took me about 10 minutes.

Beat the whites until soft peaks with a mixer.

Introduce flour mixture and proteins into the yolk mass in parts. Stir lightly from bottom to top.

In a mold (diameter - 26 cm), covered baking paper, pour the dough and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes (focus on your oven). Do not open the oven while baking.

Allow the biscuit to cool right in the mold, then remove it. If you plan to cut it into cakes, then wrap the completely cooled sponge cake with cling film and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
