Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9-inch (22cm) cake pan with parchment paper.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3
Add the melted butter to the egg mixture, then gradually incorporate the dry ingredients.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
5
Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the seeds from one pomegranate.
6
Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two layers. Spread the pomegranate mousse evenly over the bottom layer, then top with the other layer.
7
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining mousse, and decorate with the seeds from the second pomegranate.
8
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Before slicing, sprinkle with a few more fresh pomegranate seeds.
