How To Make The Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 325℉. Grease the bottom of two 6-inch pans and cover with parchment paper. Make sure the sides won't get oily. Set aside.
  • Place the mixing bowl and the whisk attachment in the freezer.
  • Use the whisk attachment to beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract for at least 5 minutes. The mixture should become thick, pale and double the volume.

  • Once the cakes are baked, place the pans on a cooling rack upside down. Let the cake cool down in that position.
