Notes

Ingredients

  • 1 ⅔ cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a round cake pan (8 or 9-inch) with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and add the sugar.
3️⃣ Whisk the eggs:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until pale, light, and frothy — about 3–4 minutes with a mixer.
4️⃣ Combine gently:
Add the beaten egg mixture to the dry ingredients and fold gently using a spatula until smooth and lump-free.
5️⃣ Bake the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool & serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with berries and whipped cream.
