Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and baking pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Whip eggs and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is thick, pale, and forms soft peaks—this should take about 5-7 minutes. This step is crucial for incorporating air to create the cake’s cloud-like texture.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure they are well combined and to avoid lumps.
  4. Fold in flour: Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the whipped egg and sugar mixture in small batches using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter, preserving as much air as possible for fluffiness.
  5. Add vanilla extract: Stir in the vanilla extract gently to distribute flavor evenly without disturbing the batter’s lightness.
  6. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For an even lighter texture, ensure eggs and sugar are whipped until very fluffy, but do not overmix after adding flour to avoid deflating the batter.
  • You can dust the finished cake with powdered sugar or serve with fresh fruit and whipped cream for added flavor.
  • Use room temperature eggs to achieve better volume when whipping.
  • Make sure to sift the flour and baking powder for a smoother cake texture.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
