Basic French Sponge Cake (Genoise)
"This is a purist’s cake because it contains no leavening-it's lightened with air alone-and has a delicate egg flavor and a light texture that make it seem to fall apart in the mouth. To make this classic French sponge cake, you need to beat whole eggs with sugar until they become very pale..."
