## Instructions

### 1. Prepare your baking dish

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

### 2. Separate the eggs

Separate egg whites from yolks. Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

### 3. Make the batter

In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar, water, and vanilla until pale and creamy. Slowly mix in the melted butter and flour, then gradually whisk in the lukewarm milk until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).

### 4. Fold in egg whites

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter a little at a time. The mixture will be slightly lumpy and foamy — that’s perfect! Don’t overmix.

### 5. Bake the cake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set but slightly jiggly. Let it cool completely in the pan.

### 6. Chill and serve

For best texture, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

## Tips for Success

* **Use room-temperature eggs and lukewarm milk** — this helps with proper separation during baking.
* **Be gentle when folding in egg whites** to preserve the airy texture of the sponge layer.
* **Let it cool fully** before slicing, or it may fall apart.
* **Refrigerate overnight** for the cleanest layers and easiest slicing.
