Keep in mind that this one of the many variant of this recipe, as everyone adds they own twist to it. so I would recommend trying different version and see what you prefer. Using baking powder instead of adding beaten egg whites will make the cake it a bit less dense. you can also use whole eggs and beat them with the sugar for a long time until they double in volume then continue with the rest of recipe. ultimately you could also add extra egg white to the mix to make the cake lighter.
To proceed: Weigh your eggs (out of the shell) and use the same weigh for each ingredients
so in the video : I had 160 grams (5.6 oz) of eggs and I use that measure for each ingredient. so 160 grams of sugar, 160 grams salted butter, and 160 grams of all purpose flour.
regardless of how many eggs you use, you always base your ingredient measurement on the weigh of the eggs you use.
INGREDIENTS:
Eggs
Sugar
Salted butter
All purpose flour
Flavoring of your choice
use around 10 ml // 2 teaspoons per egg of liquor of choice ( grand Marnier, rum, cognac, kirsch, Cointreau etc..)
add a teaspoon of grated citrus (optional)
or simply use vanilla essence or vanilla extract you will have to blend it with a bit of milk ( same as above 10 ml / 2 teaspoons per egg.
To proceed: Weigh your eggs (out of the shell) and use the same weigh for each ingredients
so in the video example I had 160 grams of eggs and use 160 grams of sugar, salted butter, and all purpose flour
