- Beat the eggs with sugar, salt, lemon zest and the two grated tonka beans until frothy. Sift the flour with cornstarch and baking powder twice and fold in a tablespoon at a time.
- Brush a sponge cake tin with butter and flour. Since the mass is a little too much, I recommend buttering and flouring a small loaf pan as well.
