Just wanted to bake something easy and decided to try one of those minimal ingredient cakes. It turned out to be pretty good. I cheated a little and added a fourth ingredient, vanilla extract!
Ingredients (can be halved to make a 5" cake)
4 eggs (separate yolks from whites)
60g sugar
40g flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting/Filling:
1 cup whipping cream : 1/4 cup sugar
OR
Jam, with a little water added, warmed in the microwave
Method
Preheat oven to 175C (350F)
Add half (30g) of the sugar to the yolks and whisk until light and fluffy
Sift in the flour and continue whisking until a smooth consistency
Whisk the egg whites until frothy, add the remaining sugar and whisk until a meringue with stiff peaks is obtained.
Gently, fold the meringue into the yolk mixture, 1/3 at a time.
Pour into a 9x9 inch baking pan and bake for 10min or until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cake down, slice in half.
Slather with preferred filling and replace top half of cake.
