It is necessary
-
- eggs 6 pcs;
- sugar 1 tbsp;
- sour cream 1 tbsp;
- flour 2 cups;
- lemon juice;
- vegetable oil.
Instructions
Step 1
Take eggs, wash them. Separate the whites from the yolks and place them in separate bowls. Put the plate with egg whites in the refrigerator, as they whip better when chilled.
Step 2
Pour a glass of sugar into a container with yolks and wait until the grains are completely dissolved. Beat the ingredients with a mixer until foam appears. Add a glass of sour cream and mix everything thoroughly.
Step 3
Take flour and sift it. This must be done so that the flour is saturated with oxygen. As a result, the sponge cake will be more luxuriant.
Step 4
Remove the whites from the refrigerator and beat them with a mixer to make the foam thicker, add a little lemon juice to the whites before whipping. Take a large dish and combine the prepared yolks and whites, add flour and mix carefully but well. When adding flour, do not use a mixer, otherwise the dough will settle, it is better to use a wooden or silicone spatula.
Step 5
Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and carefully transfer the dough into it. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Sponge cake mixed with sour cream does not like high temperatures. Place the dish in the oven.
Step 6
When the biscuit rises, lower the temperature to 160 degrees. Remove the finished product from the oven and place on the wire rack until it cools completely, then the bottom will not be soggy. It is better to cut the biscuit using a special fishing line. Garnish with icing sugar or icing when serving. You can also make a lovely cake using a few cakes.
