Ok time and temp not included also pans should be lined with wax paper and greased and floured but I've baked a lot and pretty much had that figured out. Every time I have made it and taken it to a party, there is not a crumb left and someone always asks for the recipe. Certainly one of my favorites. Right up there with best ever Carrot Cake

I had to use part of another "Genoise" cake recipe because the author did not include the temp or bake time in the instructions. 350 for 20 to 25 min.
