Comment préparer Genoise

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until pale and thick (about 5-7 minutes using an electric mixer).
In a separate bowl, gently whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, prepare your desired filling/icing. For the Mocha Buttercream (recipe available upon request), whip the butter, confectioners sugar, and mocha until light and fluffy.
Once the cake is completely cool, level the top if necessary. Slice the cake horizontally into two layers.
Frost the bottom layer with a generous amount of buttercream or your chosen filling.
Top with the second layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.
Decorate as desired and enjoy your heavenly Genoise!
