Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the bottoms of two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper, leaving the sides ungreased.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs on high for one minute, then gradually add the sugar and continue whisking for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale.
Whisk the flour and baking powder together, then sift the dry ingredients into the egg mixture one-third at a time, gently folding with a spatula after each addition.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 23 to 28 minutes until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched.

Notes

For the highest possible rise, ensure your mixing bowl and whisk are completely grease-free before starting. When folding in the flour, use a light hand and a large silicone spatula to reach the bottom of the bowl without deflating the delicate egg foam.
