Finally add the flour with the yeast, beating slowly to mix well.
In another bowl, add the egg whites with the fleur de sel and beat until the egg whites are firm.
Add the egg whites to the batter, carefully wrapping with a spoon.
Pour the dough into an ungreased pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.

You can’t grease the tin or at most just grease the bottom so that it comes out easily.
You should not open the oven until the time is up and you should avoid air flow until the cake is cold.
