Genoise
A génoise (US: , UK: , French: [ʒenwaz]; usually spelled genoise in English), also known as Genoese cake or Genovese cake, is an Italian sponge cake named after the city of Genoa and associated with Italian and French cuisine. Instead of using chemical leavening, air is suspended in the batter during mixing to provide volume. Genoise should not be confused with pain de Gênes ("Genoa bread") which is made from almond paste, but it is similar to pan di Spagna ("Spanish bread"), another Italian sponge cake.It is a whole-egg cake, unlike some other sponge cakes for which yolks and whites are beaten separately, such as Pão de Ló. The eggs, and sometimes extra yolks, are beaten with sugar and heated at the same time, using a bain-marie or flame, to a stage known to patissiers as the "ribbon stage". A genoise is generally a fairly lean cake, getting most of its fat from egg yolks, but some recipes also add in melted butter before baking.

genoise
A genoise is a type of lightly sweetened sponge cake that originated in Italy, specifically from Genoa, hence the name. It is characterized by its firm yet airy texture derived from beating whole eggs, sometimes with added egg yolks, together with sugar until they are thoroughly aerated. The mixture is then gently folded with melted butter and flour. Genoise is often used as a base layer for various types of gateaux and other desserts, and is frequently soaked with syrup or liqueur for added flavor.
