Steps
1. Sponge
1.1. Prepare ingredients
Measure and mix starch, flour, powdered milk, protein concentrate and baking powder.
Measure allulose and salt.
Crack eggs.
1.2. Whip eggs with allulose and salt
Whip 3-4 minutes until smooth dense stable foam. Add vanillin / flavoring while whipping.
1.3. Add other dry ingredients
Add (in batches) while mixing on a lowest speed.
Do not overmix or whip! It's ok to leave small clumps.
1.4. Bake sponge
Lightly grease cake mold and silicone mat with a drop of oil using a paper towel.
Bake 12-16 minutes at 165°C in a preheated oven (no fan), until slightly golden.
1.5. Cool
Open oven door slightly immediately after backing and leave sponge inside for 5 minutes. Then take it out and cool further.
2. Glaze (Part 1)
2.1. Prepare dry ingredients
Mix all dry ingredients in a microwave-safe container with a lid.
2.2. Add water
Add water and mix thoroughly (milk frother recommended).
2.3. Bring to boil (in a microwave)

Heat until boiling, while stopping every 30s and stirring a bit (also watch to prevent overflow).
Turn microwave off, mix thoroughly.
Repeat a few times. No agar should remain at the bottom.
3.3. Set aside to cool
Place container on a thick cloth / towel so bottom does not cool faster than the rest.

Carefully remove mold, separating glaze, soufflé, and base with a knife along edges.
