Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottoms of two 9″ cake pans with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment (this is the one I have), beat 6 large eggs for 1 minute on high speed. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue beating 8-10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
- Whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder then sift this mixture into fluffy egg mixture one third at a time. Fold with a spatula with each addition just until incorporated. Scrape spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of flour and stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
- Divide evenly between prepared cake pans (it helps if you have a kitchen scale to weight the pans). Bake at 350˚F for 23-28 minutes (my oven took 25 min), or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan by sliding a thin spatula (here's the one I love for cakes) around the edges then transfer to a wire rack and remove parchment backing. Cool cakes to room temperature then slice layers equally in half with a serrated knife.

Tips:
- Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will help ensure that your cake turns out moist and flavorful.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them combine more evenly and prevent curdling.
- Do not overbeat the batter. Overbeating can cause the cake to be dense and dry.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
