  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Beat the egg whites on high speed until foamy and doubled in size, about 1 minute. While beating, slowly pour in ¼ cup sugar. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 3/4 cup sugar to the egg yolks and beat on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
  • Add the flour into the yolk mixture and mix.
  • Using a spatula, fold the egg whites into the flour mixture in two batches, until no white streaks remain. Pour the batter into the cake pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool until slightly warm.
  • While the cake is baking, add the syrup ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Poke the cake all over with a fork. Slowly pour the syrup over the cake. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream, sugar and cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Spread whipped cream on the cake and garnish with berries
