- Preheat oven to 200 C / Gas 6. Grease a springform tin.
- Separate egg. In a bowl beat egg white with water until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff. Add egg yolk and continue beating. Fold in flour and baking powder.
- Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Tipp:
The sponge gets very fluffy, if you beat the dough in a narrow and high mixing bowl.
