Zutaten
- 1 cup 120g all-purpose flour

Anleitungen
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is pale, thick, and doubles in volume.
- Sift and fold in dry ingredients: Sift the flour and salt together, then gently fold it into the egg mixture. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
- Add butter and vanilla: Melt the butter and stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold the butter into the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notizen
Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before using them; this helps achieve the best fluffy texture.
Be gentle when folding in the flour to avoid deflating the batter.
The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
