This recipe is as straightforward as they come. Follow these step-by-step instructions for perfection.
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale yellow and frothy. This step ensures the cake stays light and airy.
Step 3: Fold in the Flour
Sift the self-rising flour into the egg mixture. Gently fold it in using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Step 4: Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Decorate
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, decorate as desired with whipped cream, fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or your favorite frosting.
