Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 375 degrees F.

Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. With the mixer running at lowest speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Again stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This will take approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Add the vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.

When the cake is done cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely. This cake turns out with a nice little crunch on top if everything turns out alright. I hope you enjoy it and it becomes one of your favorites!!!
