- Preheat the oven to 155℃. Separate the eggs. Keep the bowl of egg whites in the fridge and the yolks to one side.

- Take the egg whites out of the fridge, add lemon juice or cream of tartar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer to beat until it forms soft peaks.
- Take a scoop of whipped egg white to mix with batter until JUST combined. Gently fold the rest of the whipped egg white into the batter until JUST combined.
- Line the cake pan (28*28*2.6cm) with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the baking pan. Smooth the surface. Give it a few taps, then send it into the oven and bake for 32 minutes.
- In a clean bowl, put together heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Use a hand mixer to beat until thickened. Set aside in the fridge.
