Categories     Easy

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup granulated sugar (210 grams)
1 cup all-purpose flour (130 grams)
1/2 tsp baking powder

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.
