Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla. Stir with a whisk until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks remain, about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  4. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and slice.

Notes

For the lightest texture, use room temperature eggs and cream. The cake can be made a day ahead; wrap it well and store at room temperature. A simple topping of whipped cream and fresh berries makes it feel special.
