Pão-de-Ló Recipe

If there is a cake which evoques my childhood memories, Pão-de-Ló is the one at the top of my list. A glorious yet simple sponge cake, fluffy and light like a cloud and canary yellow. A traditional recipe of Conventual origins, a time of egg yolk surplus due to the high usage of whites in the daily errands of nuns and monks.
