Equipment:

Method 🍰
Make the Cake:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and salt for about 4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes pale, light and fluffy.
Pour in the oil and whisk for another 1 minute until fully incorporated.
Sift the plain flour and baking powder directly into the bowl.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the mixture until almost combined.
Add the milk and continue mixing until the batter is smooth and evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into a lined baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
For best results, you can wrap the cooled cake with cling film and frost it the following day.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting 🍰
In a large bowl, whisk the cold heavy cream and vanilla extract for 1–2 minutes, until it begins to thicken.
Add the cream cheese and whisk gently for about 30 seconds, just until combined.
Add the powdered sugar and continue whisking for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the frosting becomes smooth, thick and creamy. Avoid overwhisking.
Decorate the Cake 🍰
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the completely cooled cake.
Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
Cut into your preferred serving size and enjoy!
Enjoy! 🍰
