Blueberry Mousse Cake
Sponge Cake Base
2 eggs
70 g sugar
50 g flour
20 g potato starch
1 tsp baking powder
Sponge Cake Base
Preheat the oven to 165°C (without fan).
Grease the bottom of a cake tin with butter and line it with baking paper.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding sugar, one spoon at a time, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Gently mix in the egg yolks.
Finally, sift the flour, potato starch, and baking powder into the mixture and gently fold it together with a spatula.
Pour the batter into a 24 cm cake tin and smooth the surface. Bake at 165°C for about 20-25 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and drop it from a height of 20 cm onto the floor or countertop. This helps the sponge cake settle slightly.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin. Then remove the baking paper.
