In a large bowl, place the softened butter with the sugar and the seeds from a vanilla pod and whip them until you get a fluffy mixture.
Add the yolks slightly beaten with a fork in a stream, continuing to mix.Gradually add the sieved potato starch and baking powder, stirring to avoid lumps.
Incorporate the whipped egg whites with a spatula and gentle movements from bottom to top.
Butter and flour, or line with parchment paper, a 9 1/2 inch springform pan and pour in the prepared mixture.Bake in a pre-heated static oven at 320°F for forty-five, fifty minutes: do the toothpick test to check that, when finished baking, a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out dry.
Remove from the oven, let cool completely, and serve your sandy cake.
