Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale. Mix in whole milk and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt; combine with the wet ingredients.
