Ingredients
  

  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside.
  • Whip the cold heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. If using a stand mixer, transfer the whipped cream to another bowl.
  • Beat the sugar and eggs at medium speed in the stand mixer bowl with the paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer, until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix on low speed. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on low until just combined.
  • Gently fold in one-third of the whipped cream until just incorporated. Add the remaining whipped cream and gently stir until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
