Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 480 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 2 units Large eggs
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them gently to combine. Gradually add the granulated sugar to the eggs, whisking until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Step 5
Add the whipped cream to the egg and sugar mixture. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract to the wet mixture and stir lightly to combine.
Step 7
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients, folding gently after each addition until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Optional: Dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar or serve with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
