genoise is an italian sponge cake named after the city of genoa, a seaport in northern italy.
renzo piano is genoese :) he's one of my favorite architects. he designed the pompidou centre with richard rogers in paris, which is beautiful.
this one contains no butter, and all the fat of two eggs spread into 8 cupcakes. i two thirded the recipe, so likely you can get 12 out of this.
(A) 3 large eggs, 1/3 cup sugar, pinch of salt, vanilla essence, cream of tartar
(B) 1.5 cup cake flour
preheat oven to 180C
1. whisk (A) till stiff. meringue-ish.
2. sift (B) in and fold. slowly, don't let too much air go. erm, mine is kinda flat because i fold like a military soldier wielding an m16.
3. pour into paper-lined muffin cups and bake for 15min at 180C.
