    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

    2

    Separate the eggs. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and fluffy.

    3

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

    4

    Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites.

    5

    Sift the flour into the batter and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

    7

    Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the sponge cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    8

    Let the sponge cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
