Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F | 180° C.
- In a large bowl, put the whole eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, pinch of salt and vanilla extract all together and use a stand mixer or electric hand mixer to whisk together at the highest speed for about 10 minutes. The batter should quadruple in volume and be frothy although fairly dense.
- Sift the flour and the potato starch through a sieve into a bowl and mix together. Now add a third of the sifted flour and starch mixture into the beaten eggs and fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon carefully, without deflating the mixture. Add another third and repeat and then the final third and repeat.
- Coat your 9-in | 22-cm round spring-form baking pan with butter and then with a dash of flour. Gently pour in the cake batter evenly.
- Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack and cook for approximately 35 minutes, without opening the oven door for at least 30 minutes. A light golden crust should form on the top and the inside should be pale yellow with a spongy texture. A toothpick should come out clean when it is ready.
- After removing from the oven, let it cool for 15 minutes in the pan and then cut around the edges with a knife, open the springform cake pan and remove the cake. Place it on a wire rack and let cool completely.
