🛒 Ingredients

15 servings

15
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
  • 1¾ cups (400 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until light, frothy, and slightly thickened.

  3. 3

    Add the melted butter and sugar, whisking until well combined and smooth.

  4. 4

    Gradually fold in the sifted flour and heavy cream, alternating between the two, until you have a lump-free batter.

  5. 5

    Add the baking powder and stir gently — avoid overmixing to keep the cake fluffy.

  6. 6

    Grease and flour a 9-inch (24 cm) cake pan, then pour in the batter evenly.

  7. 7

    Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

💡 Chef's Tip

For extra flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or the zest of one lemon. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
