Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large fresh eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Bring eggs and butter to room temperature for easier mixing. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Whip the Eggs: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until thick, pale, and fluffy. This process incorporates air, creating the cloud-like texture essential for this cake.
  3. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and gently fold it into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy structure.
  4. Add Butter and Vanilla: Slowly add the melted butter and vanilla extract into the batter, folding gently until evenly combined without deflating the mixture.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake is golden and springs back when touched. Avoid opening the oven early to prevent collapse.
  6. Drizzle with Caramel: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Warm the caramel sauce slightly and drizzle generously over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for maximum volume and fluffiness.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Fold the flour in gently to preserve air bubbles and light texture.
  • Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Warm caramel sauce slightly before drizzling to prevent hardening.
