Preheat the oven to 150C.
Prepare a swiss-roll tin by greasing it with butter.
Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolks while continuing to beat. Then fold in the flour, baking powder, salt and vanilla.
Spread the mixture across the tin to form the base.
Clean and dry the bowl and the beaters, then beat the egg whites until they foam up and thicken.
Add the sugar and vanilla essence. Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Spread this evenly over the base.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes until the top is set. The middle will be chewy and moist.
Cool before slicing into squares.
