- Meanwhile, shell the eggs and divide the yolks from the whites.
- Add one yolk to the buttercream at a time, taking care to add the next one only after the first one is completely absorbed.

The original recipe
As mentioned, in this recipe we have changed the doses compared to the classic Paradise Cake. Instead of the 250-300 g of butter we used only 90 g, compensating with 170 g of yogurt (not present in the classic formula). The number of eggs is also reduced compared to the original. The sugar has been reduced by more than half (140 g against 300 g), while the doses of flour and starch have been maintained. The result is still optimal.- Preheat the oven to 160 ° C.
- Line a 24 cm diameter springform pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff, adding a pinch of salt.
- Incorporate the egg whites into the mixture, taking care to add them a few at a time and always mix from top to bottom to avoid letting the mixture collapse.
- Transfer the dough to the pan, level gently by swirling the container. Bake the cake at 160 ° C for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool and serve, finishing with icing sugar.
