1/2tsp salt


Whisk in:

2 eggs

5 yolks

Whip 5 whites & 1/2tsp cream of tarter to stiff peaks. Fold white into batter, Bake at 325°F 55-65 minutes on lower -middle rack. Invert & cool 2-3 hours.

*cornstarch should have weighed 16g, but was actually 20.

This was a *very* eggy cake--definitely not one of my favourites. Maybe it would be better with store eggs.
