Method

Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line the bottom of an 18–19 cm springform pan with parchment.
Beat the eggs with a mixer, and when foam appears, add the sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat until 2–3 times in volume, until a clear trail from the whisk stays on the surface.
Sift the flour with the starch and gently fold it in with a spatula from the bottom up, without letting the mixture deflate.
Immediately pour the batter into the pan, level it and bake for 25–35 minutes, without opening the oven for the first 20 minutes.
Check doneness with a skewer, leave the sponge in the slightly open oven for 5 minutes, then cool on a rack.
