Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare a half sheet tray by spraying it with vegetable spray and lining it with parchment paper.

Combine baking powder with all-purpose flour and whisk together.

Add eggs, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy and pale, about 7-8 minutes.

Sift the flour mixture into the egg mixture in two additions, folding gently to incorporate air.

Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared sheet tray.

Bake for an unspecified time until the cake is springy to the touch (exact time not mentioned).
