- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line the bottom of a 20cm springform cake tin with baking parchment. Grease the parchment, then dust with cornflour.
- Using a stand mixer, whisk eggs and caster sugar at medium speed for at least 10 to 15 minutes, until mixture turns light and fluffy.
- Use a wooden spoon to add in sifted cornflour, a little at a time, and mix until combined. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour mixture into cake tin and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden in colour. Try not to open oven door during baking time for best results.
- Remove from oven, let stand for a few minutes before turning cake over onto a wire rack to cool. Loosen the side of the springform tin and shake the cake loose.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve with fresh fruit and cream if desired.
