For the cake:

Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottoms of a 9″ cake pan with parchment paper, lightly spray with cooking spray on top of the paper and the sides of the pans.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs on medium speed and slowly add the sugar. Continue beating on high speed for ⏱️ 8 minutes until light and thick. we need the egg sugar mixture to be very fluffy.
4
In a bowl combine flour and baking powder.
5
Add flour mixture to the eggs and using a rubber spatula, fold flour into the eggs. This step is tricky, make sure there are no thick pockets of flour. Keep scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Do not over mix. Stop folding, when there are no pockets of flour.
6
Pour batter into a pan and bake for ⏱️ 25-30 minutes, until golden.

Remove from the pan, using a knife to loosen the cake. Let it cool on a cooling rack.
