2️⃣ Add eggs, one at a time, blending each fully into the batter before adding the next.
3️⃣ Gradually sift in the flour, alternating with the heavy cream or milk. Use a light touch to keep the batter airy and smooth.
4️⃣ Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts along with a pinch of salt, ensuring the batter is evenly mixed.
5️⃣ Pour the batter into a prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula to ensure even baking.
