Paper-Line Cup Sponge Cake

This reminds me of the good old days. It is one of my favorite item that I would always buy from my grandma's house downstair bakery shop. Saw this from Florence blog (Do what I like). The texture is very soft and very nice but it seems like the egg taste is overpowering. Else everything is good. Hmm... I will try to work something out.

4. Fold in the sieved flour mixture and mix well.
5. Beat egg whites till white in colour and add in sugar by thirds and beat till egg white is stiff.
