Gather your ingredients.

Grease and flour a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture lightens in color.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool slightly, then remove it from the pan onto a cake plate. Serve as is, or simply dust with shredded coconut or powdered sugar.
