Cómo preparar Italian Basic Genoise Sponge Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixer bowl, using a wire whisk attachment, beat 6 large eggs, 6 large egg yolks, and 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar on high speed for 15 minutes, or until the mixture has tripled in volume and is pale and thick.
- Add 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and mix for another 30 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups (180g) cake flour, ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Grease and flour two 10-inch round cake pans.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, use a long serrated knife to level the tops of the cakes.
- For layer cakes, carefully slice each cake horizontally into three even layers using a serrated knife.
