Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed to beat the mixture until it becomes pale, thick, and ribbon-like, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the pure vanilla extract until well incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Using a clean whisk attachment or beaters, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, or the cream may break.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg and sugar mixture in three additions. Use a spatula and work carefully to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Do this in two to three increments, folding gently after each addition to ensure a smooth batter without deflating it.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
Slice and enjoy the wonderfully light and fluffy whipped cream cake!
