Pour the dough into the mold and put it for 1.5 hours in the oven preheated to 160 C (the second level from the bottom). Then remove the biscuit from the mold, cover it with a damp cloth and put it in the oven again, but for 30 minutes and now to the lower level. After this, take out the sponge cake and let it cool.
