Instructions:

1. Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper to ensure easy removal.

2. Whip the Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed for 8-10 minutes. The mixture is ready when it becomes thick, pale yellow in color, and has tripled in volume. When you lift the beaters, the ribbon of batter that falls back onto the surface should hold its shape for a few seconds.

3. Incorporate the Flour: Sift the flour over the egg mixture in 2-3 batches. Using a spatula, gently fold in the flour after each addition. Use a wide, sweeping motion to combine, being careful not to deflate the air you’ve whipped into the eggs. Fold only until no dry streaks of flour remain.

4. Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and gently smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge to loosen it, invert it onto a wire rack, and peel off the parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely before slicing or decorating.

Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy this classic sponge cake plain, or dress it up with a dusting of powdered sugar, a layer of whipped cream and fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate ganache.
