Mix half of the sugar with the yolks and half with the egg whites. Whip the egg whites until stiff. Add a pinch of salt to the yolks and whip.
Add vanilla flavoring, oil, cocoa, flour, baking powder

Cream Preparation:
In a saucepan, put the egg, sugar, cornstarch, and mix. Add the milk gradually and the lemon peel.
Bring it to the heat to thicken, stirring occasionally. Once thickened, transfer it to a container, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool.
Once well chilled, remove the lemon peel and add the whipped cream. Mix.
Assembly:
Place the first piece of Sponge Cake (for a more precise result you can use an adjustable mold lined with plastic wrap).
Soak with syrup to taste and add the cream obtained. Level. Place the second piece of Sponge Cake on top,
