  • 6 eggs room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
