Steps:
- Preheat Oven to 350˚F. Line bottoms of two 9″ cake pans with parchment paper (do not grease the sides).
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment (this is the one I have), beat 6 large eggs for 1 minute on high speed. With the mixer on, gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue beating 8-10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
- Whisk together 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder then sift this mixture into fluffy egg mixture one third at a time. Fold with a spatula with each addition just until incorporated. Scrape spatula from the bottom to catch any pockets of flour and stop mixing when no streaks of flour remain. Do not over-mix or you will deflate the batter.
- Divide evenly between prepared cake pans (it helps if you have a kitchen scale to weight the pans). Bake at 350˚F for 23-28 minutes (my oven took 25 min), or until top is golden brown. Remove from pan by sliding a thin spatula (here's the one I love for cakes) around the edges then transfer to a wire rack and remove parchment backing. Cool cakes to room temperature then slice layers equally in half with a serrated knife.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray the bottoms of two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper
- In a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the eggs and beat on medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes to break them up
- Gradually pour in the sugar, then add vanilla and salt and continue to whip the eggs until pale yellow, fluffy, and the mixture falls back on itself in a ribbon, 8 to 10 more minutes on medium-high speed
- Once finished whipping, the mixture should be pale yellow, fluffy, and should fall back on itself in a ribbon
- Remove mixing bowl from base and add sifted flour and baking powder in two batches, gently folding between additions until there are no more streaks of flour
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the top lightly, and bake until golden brown on top and a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes
- Cool in the pans for 20 minutes, then run a sharp knife around the edge of the pans to loosen and transfer cakes to a wire rack to cool completely

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4, butter and line the base of two 20cm spring-form cake tins with baking parchment.
- Using an electric whisk beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Crack the eggs in one at a time and whisk well, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the lemon zest, vanilla, flour, milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk until just combined then divide the mixture between the two tins.
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 25-30 mins until a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. After 10 mins remove the cakes from their tins and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Fill how you like. My personal favourite is a good dollop of lemon curd and some fresh cream, then dust the top with icing sugar. Will keep for 3 days.
