## Ingredients

- egg yolk
- sugar
- egg white
- flour

## Instructions

1. Heat milk in a saucepan until it just starts to bubble, then reserve.
2. Beat egg yolks and sugar in a mixer until pale, yellow, and luminous.
3. Slowly add the warm milk to the yolk and sugar mixture while mixing.
4. Add flour to the batter.
5. In a separate clean mixer bowl, whisk egg whites and sugar just until they reach soft peaks that fold over on themselves.
6. Fold the soft-peak egg whites into the main cake batter.
7. Pour the batter into a cake pan and bake at 325 degrees for 50-55 minutes.

## Equipment

- saucepan
- stand mixer
- whisk attachment
- spatula

## Tips

- Avoid whipping egg whites to stiff peaks; stop at soft peaks so they don't deflate or get over-whipped when incorporated into the batter.
- The whites should not be stiffer than the batter they are being folded into.
