Ingredients

eggs 3

granulated sugar 100 g

salt 1/4 tsp

cake flour, sifted 100 g

instant coffee powder (insoluble, added directly to the batter) 5 g

melted butter 50 g

Instructions

Whip the egg mixture

Combine the eggs, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Heat over a bain-marie until the temperature reaches 40 °C (about 104 °F), then whip with a whisk until pale white, voluminous, and thick.

Add the flour and coffee

Sift in the cake flour together with the coffee powder and fold gently until just combined.

Add the butter and bake

Pour in the melted butter and fold gently until just combined — do not overmix, or the batter will deflate. Transfer the batter into a greased mold and bake at 165 °C (about 330 °F) for roughly 60 minutes.
