Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden and springs back when lightly touched.
