Ingredients
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted (1 stick)
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ cups milk lukewarm (110°F)
- powdered sugar optional, for dusting
- mixed berries optional, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- With a hand mixer, whip the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture turns a pale yellow color.
- Stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add the flour and stir just until combined.
- Add the milk and stir once again, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites until smooth but still slightly lumpy. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center of the cake only jiggles slightly.
- Let the cake cool for 2 hours before dusting the top with some powdered sugar and slicing and serving with berries if desired.
