Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease one 9x9 inch square pan. Beat eggs in a small bowl until very thick. Add the sugar and the vanilla, beating well. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In three parts add the flour mixture alternately with the whipping cream to the egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let it cool. Cover cake with icing your choice. Decorate with rosemary, bay leaves and cranberries. Serves 12. Note: A beautiful note for Xmas time - you can also decorate the iced cake with small red sugar (or marzipan) stars, poinsettias, strawberries or bows (see examples below).
