Preparation Beat the eggs and the sugar until you have a mixture that has grown and is foamy. Add the flour and the vanilla and stir well with a wooden spoon.

In the meantime, melt the butter in a pot at a low heat. Add it to the mixture. Grease an oven dish with butter and sprinkle it with flour. Heat the oven to 190° C. and bake for about 30 minutes.

When the top of the sponge cake is golden brown, take it out of the oven. As soon as it is cold, you can cut it in half horizontally and then fill it as you please.
