Separate eggs. Mix soft fat and sugar for 10 minutes with the whisk of the hand mixer until thick and creamy. Stir in the egg yolks one by one. Mix flour and baking powder. Alternately stir in with the ginger ale. Beat egg whites and 1 pinch of salt until stiff and fold into the dough in 2 portions.

Fill the dough into a greased star-shaped mould (2 litres capacity), dust with flour and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 55-60 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, place on a cake rack and let it rest for 10 minutes.
