1

Preheat the oven to 175-180°C (347-356°F).

2

Grease two molds with butter: a 20 cm round mold and a 12x25 cm rectangular mold.

3

Line the base of the molds with parchment paper, grease the paper, and dust with flour, removing any excess flour.

4

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy.

5

Gradually add sugar to the egg whites while beating until stiff peaks form.

6

Add the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

7

Sift together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, then gradually fold into the egg mixture in three parts, being careful to maintain the air in the mixture.

8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared molds and gently tap to remove air bubbles.

9

Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

10

Once baked, invert the molds onto a wire rack to cool, allowing the bread to cool upside down to prevent it from flattening.

11

After cooling slightly, remove the bread from the molds and parchment paper, and let cool completely on the wire rack.
