Preheat the oven to 170º C. Line the bottom of the cake tin with baking paper, do not grease the sides. Sift the wheat and potato flour through a sieve - combine them and set aside.
Separate the whites very carefully from the yolks.
Beat the whites to a stiff, fluffy foam. Tip: the bowl in which you will whip the egg whites must be dry. Even a drop of water can prevent the egg whites from whipping properly.
Slowly add sugar while mixing. Mix the egg whites with the sugar until the foam does not fall out when you turn the bowl over.
Then gradually add 1 egg yolk - mixing all the time.
When you have a uniform fluffy mass, very slowly fold the previously sifted flours, but do not mix them, just fold them gently with a spatula so that the ingredients combine.
Gently pour the batter into the spring form pan and smooth it out. Bake at 170ºC for about 35 - 40 minutes or until the so-called dry stick.
Take the hot cake out of the oven and drop it (of course in a tin) on the floor or kitchen counter (you can spread a kitchen cloth to avoid damaging to the counter) from a height of about 30-40 cm. Leave the cake in the tin to cool at room temperature. Separate the sides of the sponge cake from the spring form pan with a knife only when the cake has cooled down.
Sponge cake can be layered with your favorite creams and fruits at your discretion. It is also the perfect base for a cake. Enjoy!
