Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake tin with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and caster sugar together vigorously until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and ribbony. This step incorporates air for a light texture.
  3. Add the vanilla essence to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
  4. Sift the self-raising flour over the egg mixture in two batches, folding it in gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the air bubbles.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
