Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture is pale, thick, and tripled in volume.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and water until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched lightly in the center.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cool, slice and serve with fresh whipped cream and berries, if desired.
