Take the egg yolks and beat them with a whisk. Add the sugar and, if using a stand mixer, mix at maximum speed. Refrigerate the egg whites and bring the water to a boil. Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with a whisk and add the remaining sugar, then the vanilla seeds and a drizzle of boiling water. You'll see a creamy consistency. Whip for 5 minutes.
Add the sifted flour and baking powder and mix with a spatula. Fold in the egg whites and prepare the pan by greasing and flouring it. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 40 minutes at 180°C (350°F). Let it cool and then fill it as desired.
