Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 milliliters Heavy whipping cream
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for 5-6 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and triples in volume.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the heavy whipping cream, continuing to mix just until incorporated.
Fold in the sifted dry ingredients (flour mixture) in three batches using a spatula. Gently fold in each addition, making sure not to deflate the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the sponge cake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is fully cooled, slice and serve as-is or decorate with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
