Tips:

Tips :
1. Make the butter/sugar/vanilla mix at night, leave to rest until the morning.

2. Pay attention to the power of the mixer. If your mixer can handle only 10 eggs,
the result will be better when using 2 mixers if you have them.

3. When mixing all ingredients, don't stir to much so that the batter remains
light. Likewise DON'T mix the batter while waiting so that it doesn't collapse.

4. Preheat the oven before starting to whisk the eggs, so that it is at a stable
temperature once we start baking.
