Easy, quick and delicious, right?
In addition, it is a really economical recipe!
It is also a good activity idea to do with children.
You don't even need baking powder! How it is possible ? It's the egg whites that make the cake rise.
By the way, if you're looking for a trick to whisk egg whites easily, I recommend this trick here.
To check for doneness, insert a knife blade. If it comes out dry, the cake is done.
You can slightly decrease the amount of sugar if you wish.
The stiffer the egg whites, the lighter the cake will be when cooked.
You don't think you'll eat all the cake? Freeze some. It supports freezing perfectly.
You can flavor the pound cake with lemon juice for example.
Do not hesitate to eat it with jam or a good homemade spread and a good cup of tea.
It's excellent for a snack!
