I've made this once, but have to admit I have no memory of it. I kept the recipe, therefore it had to be ok. I was likely looking for a simple vanilla white cake recipe.
1 - A very simple and quick cake! It's a great sponge cake recipe, I think. I'm rewording the instructions.
2 - This is only enough for one layer of cake, so only one cake pan! I have to make it again this way. I divided the batter into two cake pans which made super thin layers, which would be ok if that's what I wanted, but I'd likely have to reduce the baking time. Oh, and reducing the temperature from 350 to 325 seems to help with the doming effect in the middle, but I still have to try it with the single cake pan/thicker cake.
Yield - 1x8" cake pan.
2 eggs
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsps baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
(Optional: Fruit coulis and liquid whipping cream)
- Preheat oven to
350325F. Line and grease an 8" round cake pan. - Beat eggs in a small bowl until thick and frothy before adding the sugar and the vanilla. Continue to beat vigorously until well combine and thick and fluffy.
- Add the baking powder, and salt and beat in.
- Alternate adding, in three parts, the flour mixture and the whipping cream, mixing until combined. (this would look like 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup cream, 1/2 cup flour)
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Option to serve - a drizzle of coulis with a drizzle of thick cream.
