Traditional Egyptian Sponge Cake
Ah ha! I bet you all thought I’d never write again, or that I had run out of recipes. Well, perhaps more likely the latter. But the truth is life has been in the way for the past two years (almost exactly to the day). Added to that is the fact that I really wasn’t inspired by many of the recipes in my collection. I went to Egypt a few times in between, and found a few things… but nothing felt worthy enough to share with you.
That being said, today is day ? (I’ve lost count) of our lockdown in France and worldwide. And I’m sure many of you are killing time by sharpening your culinary skills, so why not make cake? As Marie Antoinette famously said: “Let them eat cake.”
And so we shall.
