Ingredients
Method
- Put the egg whites in a bowl and whip until they form good peaks. Add the lemon juice and keep whipping - at least 5-7 minutes total.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, powdered sugar, sugar and vanillin. Sift them straight into the egg whites.
- Take a spatula and gently fold the mixture until smooth, being careful not to deflate the foam.
- Carefully transfer the batter into a pan greased with vegetable oil and spread it out. Tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release excess air.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 180 °C, until a skewer comes out dry; fresh from the oven, the sponge should be springy. Let it cool, slice and serve. Enjoy your meal!

Notes
This sponge rises purely from the whipped egg whites, so whip them thoroughly and fold in the dry mixture with a spatula rather than a mixer.
