Bake a savarin, a classic French bread-like sponge cake that uses yeast as a leavening agent. The cake is said to have been created in 1845 in honour of renowned French politician, lawyer and gastronome Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.

The dough does not require kneading - all you need is a wooden spoon to mix it. Soak the cake in syrup and serve with Chantilly cream.
