Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your cake pan by greasing and lightly flouring it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, crack in the eggs and add the granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula, then drizzle in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
