Encores

For the dough:

• 4 eggs (medium)
• 30 ml water

Preparation

Basic method:

1. Put the basic mix, egg and water in a mixing bowl and mix it using the electric hand mixer (whisk) briefly on the lowest setting first of all, then on the highest setting for at least 3 minutes, until creamy.
2. Line a springform tin (26 cm) with baking paper, add the mix and smooth it out. Bake the base in the preheated oven at 180 °C top/bottom heat (160 °C fan) on the middle shelf for around 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Use a wooden skewer to check the sponge is baked through before taking it out of the oven.
4. Cool and decorate: after baking, leave the cake to cool in the tin and continue decorating as desired.
