Panama Cake

12 ingredients Serves 10 openrecipes

A recipe from my Czech grandmother. We called it Panama Cake, when it sits proudly on top of a cake board, it resembles a Panama Hat!. The recipe is unusual as it is more of a souffle recipe than a sponge, with no flour at all. Delicious but rich with the 12 eggs you need to make it!
