Line the bottom of a cake springform pan with paper. (Do not grease the bottom or sides of the cake pan, or the dough will slip off during baking).

Whip the egg whites and the cold water with the beaters of the hand mixer until very stiff. It should be airy and at the same time firm enough so that a knife cut remains visible in it. Then gradually add the sugar while continuing to whisk until it no longer crunches. Stir in the egg yolks on the lowest setting until none of the egg yolks are visible. (Stirring too long will cause too much air to escape from the foamy mixture.) Combine and sift flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, add to egg mixture form and fold in briefly with a large whisk. Do not stir, but pull the whisk through both layers, beating off over the edge of your hand and restarting. Fill the amount into the cake springform pan and smooth out.

Give into the oven, switch to gas level 2 / 180 °C and bake for about 35-40 min. After 35 min, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and pull it out. If no dough sticks to it, the base is ready, otherwise bake for about 5 min more. Carefully loosen the cake base from the edge of the pan with a kitchen knife. Remove the cake ring and turn out the cake base onto a cake rack. Peel off the paper (if this is difficult, drip a little cold water on it and then remove it).
