Flour, baking powder, salt
Whip cream and sugar (or whip almond cream and almond extract)
Fresh raspberries

Cornstarch

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 F (175 C). Grease a 9 inch round cake pan, line with parchment paper, and then grease the parchment paper too. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, add eggs and vanilla and start beating. Add oil, sugar, flour, and cornmeal and beat for about 2 minutes.

3. Add raspberries, almond extract (if using), whip cream, or other ingredients of your choice, then beat for another minute until everything is mixed in well.

Pour batter into cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, then sprinkle with crushed cornstarch on the top while cold.

4. To make the whipped cream: Combine egg whites and vanilla sugar in a bowl, then beat. Add salt, flour & baking powder and continue to beat until everything is well incorporated.

Whip on high until stiff peaks form (I’ve seen people do this in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment). Pour whipped cream on the sponge cake and enjoy!

5. For fresh raspberries: Wash them thoroughly in cold water, then transfer to a saucepan of boiling water for about 5 minutes or until soft (recommended time will depend on ripeness). Place hot raspberries in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cold.

Serving suggestion
