Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them on high speed with an electric mixer for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become pale, thick, and tripled in volume.
Step 3
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the eggs while continuing to beat, 1 tablespoon at a time, ensuring it dissolves fully before adding more. This helps maintain the airy texture of the batter.
Step 4
Once the sugar is fully incorporated, add the vanilla extract and gently mix it into the batter using a low speed or a spatula.
Step 5
Sift the cornstarch over the egg mixture, one-third at a time, and gently fold it in using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep as much air in the batter as possible.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and gently smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges, invert the cake onto a wire rack, and allow it to cool completely before serving.
Step 9
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or serve with fresh fruit and whipped cream.
