Sponge Cake Preparation:

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.

3. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar, gradually adding 3 tablespoons of hot water while continuing to whisk.
4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in small batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
5. Add the baking powder and flour, folding gently to combine.
