Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks carefully into two large bowls.
- Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- In the bowl with egg yolks, add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, then whisk until pale and creamy.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Sift the all-purpose flour over the mixture and fold it in gently until fully combined.
- Add the melted unsalted butter and fold it in gently to incorporate.
- For the batter into a greased and floured 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for better volume when beating.
- Fold ingredients gently to keep the batter airy.
- Do not open the oven door during baking to avoid collapse.
