Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C and butter a 22 cm round tin.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the yolks with 100 g of sugar until pale and creamy.
  3. Add the curd cheese, melted butter and vanilla, then mix well.
  4. Fold in the sifted flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt, without overworking the batter.
  5. Whisk the whites into stiff peaks with the remaining sugar, then gently fold them into the mixture.
  6. Pour into the tin and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and a skewer comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool slightly before turning out, then serve plain or with fruit.

Variations and tips

Raisin version. Add raisins, rehydrated in lukewarm water, to the mixture before pouring it into the tin.
