- Preheat oven to 320F.
- Beat eggs with a pinch of salt until foamy. Start adding sugar a few tablespoons at a time. Add next portion once previous sugar has been dissolved.
- Continue beating egg and sugar mix for 10 more minutes (should take around 15 minutes total).Stand mixer will be really handy.
- Mix corn starch with flour.Start sifting in corn starch and flour mix into the beaten eggs. Fold it gently moving your spatula from the bottom to the top. Once first portion of flour mix is incorporated, add in another portion. Continue until you have used all the mix.As a result you should get very light and airy batter.

- Pour in the sponge cake batter into the pan. Level with a spatula if needed.
- Bake in a preheated to 320F oven for 40-50 minutes.
- Do a toothpick test at 40 minute mark. If toothpick come out dry (not sticky and without any crumbs stuck to it) sponge cake is ready. Otherwise leave for another 5-10 minutes.Of course, look for nice light golden brown color as well.
- Take the pan out of the oven and let the cake cool before taking it out.Dust with powdered sugar and serve or use further in the other recipe.

ITALIAN SPONGE CAKE COOKIES
These can be piped into lady finger shapes and used for tiramisu. Using the cake mix helps create more of a sponge like texture. Between the cake and cookie stage. Not too crumby and not too cakey. PERFECT! You can also be creative and try different flavors, like lemon cake mix, spice cake mix or strawberry cake mix. It's up to you. This is a big batch and is a little work to roll them all but well worth it! This recipe was given to me a friend of the family who I consider like an Aunt. She is Italian and she has known me since I was born. We lived in an Italian neighborhood when first coming to Italy and they lived on the same street, when they moved to the suburbs, my parents went as well and lived on the same street again just a few houses down like in the old neighborhood. She used to babysit me when I was 3 and her, her husband and their kids are like extended family. Now the grandkids know each other. She's so nice and as soon as she knew how much I loved these cookies, she gave me the recipe. They make a lot but they are so addicting to eat. Perfect when we sit around drinking espresso, since that was the only coffee that I ever thought existed. So I thank Olga for not only these cookies but for her big heart!
