Directions
-
In a pan, combine 3 whole eggs and 190 grams of sugar. Add the grated zest of a lemon and juice of both the lemon and orange. Mix well. Pour this mixture into a bowl, cover with cling film, and set aside.
-
Separate 4 eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and yolks in another. In the bowl with egg whites, add a pinch of salt and 120 grams of sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. In the yolk bowl, add 30 ml vegetable oil and 40 grams of lemon juice. Mix well, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
-
Gently fold 120 grams of flour into the egg mixture until smooth. Line a 40 x 29 cm baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the tray. Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 25 minutes. Let it cool, then cut out round pieces with a cup.
-
In a bowl, mix 300 grams of soft cream cheese, 75 grams of powdered sugar, and 50 grams of lemon juice with an electric mixer until smooth. Place the mixture in a piping bag with a triangular tip.
-
Arrange the round pieces on a serving plate. Pipe the cream cheese mixture over each piece. Spoon a bit of the lemon-sugar mixture (from Step 1) over the cream cheese for garnish.
