Equipment
- Mixing bowls For separating wet and dry ingredients
- Whisk or electric mixer For whipping egg whites
- 8-inch round cake pan Greased and floured
- Spatula For gently folding batter
- Toothpick To check for doneness
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter and dust lightly with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar and continue whisking until the mixture becomes glossy and firm.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture. Then gently fold this into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing. Serve plain or topped with berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
Notes
For maximum fluff, don’t overmix the batter—just fold gently. Room temp eggs whip better, so plan ahead. Add whipped cream and berries on top for that wow-factor finish!
