Preparation

1. Make batter: Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, milk and vanilla and whisk until blended. Add flour and melted butter and stir with a rubber spatula just until smooth. Scrape batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly.

3. Bake cake until springy to touch, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg yolk and cream with a fork. Drizzle mixture onto cake and bake until center is cooked through, 10 minutes longer. Let cake cool for 10 minutes on a rack. Remove springform. Serve warm.
