3. Gently fold in the sifted flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
2. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing it horizontally into two layers.

2. Making the Whipped Cream Filling:

1. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
2. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the bottom half of the sponge.
3. Place the top half of the sponge over the cream layer.
