Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and continue whisking until the mixture is warm to the touch and the sugar has dissolved.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
-
Sift the flour over the egg mixture and gently fold it in using a rubber spatula.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the melted butter to the batter, folding gently until fully incorporated.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, the genoise is ready to be served or used in other dessert recipes.
