Doktorkake er en enkel sukkerbrødskake der luften utelukkende kommer fra langvarig visping av egg og sukker – hele en time «til samme kant». Den viser hvor sentral pisketeknikken var før bakepulveret ble allemannseie.
Whisk eggs and sugar
Whisk the eggs and the sugar for a whole hour, always in the same direction, into a thick and airy foam.
Add essence and flour
Stir in the almond drops and the sifted wheat flour.
Bake the cake
Pour into a well-greased and coated tin and bake about 1 hour in a hot oven.
