Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs and sugar together until well combined.
- Add vanilla extract and heavy cream to the mixture.
- Gradually add flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured tube pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a lighter texture, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter gently. For added flavor, consider using almond extract instead of vanilla. If you’re low on heavy cream, you can substitute with a mixture of half-and-half and butter, though this may slightly alter the richness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Aida's Cream Cake with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries for a delightful presentation. It pairs beautifully with Romy'S Easy Key Lime Pie for a dessert spread. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side can also enhance the experience, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.

Store leftover Aida's Cream Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, slice and warm in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cake in advance?
Yes, Aida's Cream Cake can be made a day in advance. Just be sure to store it properly to maintain its moisture. If frosting or toppings are involved, add them just before serving to keep the cake fresh.
What can I do if my cake sinks in the middle?
A sinking cake can result from underbaking or too much liquid in the batter. Ensure you bake it until a toothpick comes out clean. Also, avoid opening the oven door too frequently during baking, as this can cause temperature fluctuations.
Is it possible to make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to check that it's a 1:1 substitute for best results. This will allow those with gluten sensitivities to enjoy this delicious cake as well.
