Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 200 ° C.

The mixture will whiten then triple in volume under the effect of the expansion (the incorporation of air).
When the mixture is lukewarm with your finger (40 ° C, if you have a kitchen thermometer) add the flour in rain, then mix thoroughly.
Pour the preparation into a buttered mold , then bake it at 160 ° C for 18 min.
The sponge cake is well cooked if it is soft, supple and melting in the heart.
Cut the warm sponge cake in half then cover it with whipped cream or red fruit jam .

Before placing the fruit , spread pastry cream on the edge of the sponge cake and sprinkle with the homemade granola . (Do not hesitate to freeze the other part of the sponge cake. )
