How to Make Golden Angel Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup (120ml) water, and a pinch of salt until thick and pale yellow (about 5-7 minutes using a stand mixer or vigorously by hand).
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yolk mixture, whisking gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other extract of your choice).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
