Found simple quick and easy, duck eggs need no separating, just beat away.

Absolutely gorgeous sponge. Made it about 5x now and it's perfect every time. No egg taste? Just a heads up, staler eggs used are better.

Absolute disaster. Turned out more of an egg cake than anything else.

I'm using it for a trifle! Not sure how it tastes just yet, but it looks good in the oven!
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease 2 x 20cm round sponge tins and line with baking paper.
Beat 4 egg whites with the boiling water until stiff. Add Chelsea White Sugar slowly. Beat until dissolved. Mix in yolks one at a time.
Place Edmonds Standard Grade Flour in a 250ml cup, then fill the rest of the cup with Edmonds Cornflour. Sift into the sugar and egg mixture with Edmonds Baking Powder. Fold in.
Divide mixture between the two sponge tins and bake for 20-25 minutes, until pale golden and cooked through.
Once cooked, and while still in the tin, drop sponges from a height of 30cm onto the bench. The sponges should then hold their height, and not go flat once cool.
When cool sandwich together with cream and jam or lemon curd. Decorate with strawberries, if desired, then dust with Chelsea Icing Sugar.
