Sponge Cake (pan Di Spagna)

The hallmark of the preaching which the Spirit effects is 'boldness'... As in the Old Testament, when the Spirit fills the servant of God He 'clothes himself' with that person, and aspects of the Spirit's authority are illustrated in the courageous declaration of the Word of God. This boldness appears to involve exactly what it denotes: there is freedom of speech. We catch occasional glimpses of this in the Acts of the Apostles. What was said of the early New England preacher Thomas Hooker becomes a visible reality: when he preached, those who heard him felt that he could pick up a king and put him in his pocket!

INGREDIENTS

4		Eggs, separated
1	t	Vanilla extract
3/4	c	Sugar
1/2	c	All-purpose flour
1/2	c	Cornstarch
	pn	Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Butter and line with parchment paper a 9-or 10-inch round cake pan
that is 2    inches deep.  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the yolks
with the vanilla. Whisk in  half the sugar and continue to beat until
very light and frothy,  about 5 minutes, either by hand, with a hand
mixer set at medium  speed, or in a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the
whip.  Combine the flour and cornstarch and sift once to aerate. In a
clean,  dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold a
very  soft peak, either by hand, with a hand mixer set at medium speed,
or  in a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the whip. Beating faster, add the
remaining sugar in a very slow stream, beating until the egg whites
hold a firm peak.  Fold the yolk mixture into the whites with a rubber
spatula. Sift the  flour and cornstarch over the eggs in 3 additions,
folding them in  gradually. Do not overmix the batter.  Pour the batter
into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350  degrees for 30
to 40 minutes, until it is well risen and feels firm  when pressed
gently with the palm of your hand. Immediately loosen  the layer from
the side of the pan with a small knife or spatula.  Invert the layer
onto a rack and leave the paper stuck to it. Turn  the layer right side
up and cool it on a rack.  Unless you are going to use the layer within
a few hours, double-wrap  tightly in plastic and keep in the
refrigerator up to 5 days, or  freeze. Yield: 1 9- or 10-inch layer
