- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream (whipped)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
