Pudding sponge cake – how to make it?

Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 packages of vanilla pudding mix without sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Simple way to a fluffy pudding sponge cake:
- Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, gradually adding the sugar. Mix until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Add the egg yolks one by one, mixing continuously at low speed.
- Sift the flour together with the vanilla pudding mix into the mixture. Gently mix with a spatula to preserve the cake's fluffy structure.
- Prepare a round baking pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
- Place in the oven preheated to 356°F and bake for about 40 minutes.
- After baking, slightly open the oven door and allow the cake to cool inside—this way it won't collapse and will maintain its lightness.
