📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper; this will make removing the cake super simple. Don't skip this step, trust me!
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour and ¾ cup (120g) granulated sugar. Sift these together twice for a really light batter and to prevent clumps later. It makes a HUGE difference in the texture!
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs until slightly frothy. Gradually add the sugar, while constantly whisking, until the mixture is thick, pale yellow, and forms a ribbon when you lift the whisk. This might take some muscle, but hang in there, it's worth it!
4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are totally okay. Overmixing leads to a tough cake so be gentle and don't worry about perfection!
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Oh, and keep an eye on it, ovens can be temperamental!
6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents it from getting soggy. Once cool, frost as desired.
7. Once your cake is completely cooled, you can frost it with your favorite frosting, fill it with fruit, or simply dust it with powdered sugar. Honestly, it tastes amazing on its own!
