Make Genoise Gâteau anniversaire Allégé

Recipe Name: Genoise Gâteau anniversaire Allégé

Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat milk
- 1 cup light whipped cream
- Fresh fruits for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes thick and pale yellow in color. This should take about 5 minutes.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the egg mixture, folding gently with a spatula until well combined.

4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the melted butter mixture to the batter, folding gently until fully incorporated.

5. Heat the milk in the saucepan until warm, but not boiling. Gradually add the warm milk to the batter, folding gently until the batter becomes smooth and well combined.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Once the cake has cooled, carefully slice it horizontally into two equal layers using a serrated knife.

9. Spread a layer of light whipped cream on the bottom layer of the cake. Place the top layer of the cake on top of the whipped cream.

10. Decorate the top of the cake with additional whipped cream and fresh fruits, if desired.

11. Serve and enjoy your delicious Genoise Gâteau anniversaire Allégé!

Note: This recipe is a lighter version of the traditional Genoise Gâteau, using reduced-fat milk and light whipped cream. Feel free to customize the cake by adding your favorite fillings or frostings.
