Ingrediënten

Makes: 8 Servings

  • 12 ounces about 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 ounces ½ cup water
  • 5 whole large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 6 ounces 1½ cups unbleached flour

Instructies

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line the bottom of a 10″ springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Set aside.
  • Place the sugar and water in a medium-size saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Stir and cook until the sugar has dissolved, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and let the sugar syrup rest until it is cool to the touch.
  • Place the whole eggs and egg yolks in a large mixing bowl, and whisk by hand until combined.
  • Gradually pour in the sugar syrup and whisk until the egg and sugar mixture has doubled in volume and is frothy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Sift the flour over the top of the egg and sugar mixture and fold it in with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula.
  • Turn the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  • Place the pan in the oven.
  • Bake until the cake is golden brown on top and springs back when lightly pressed in the center, 28 to 32 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and let it cool on a rack for 15 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the pan, and unfasten the collar of the springform pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely, 1 hour.
  • To serve, run a serrated knife under the cake to free it from the bottom of the pan.
  • Serve with fresh berries.
