Beat the eggs and 1 cup of the sugar with an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip and on medium-high speed in a large mixing bowl until the mixture is pale yellow and thick and has tripled in volume, about 8 minutes. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium-size mixing bowl. Fold into the egg mixture and blend thoroughly until smooth. Add the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Mix gently. Grease a 17 x 12-inch baking pan (or jelly roll pan) with the remaining 2 teaspoons of the butter. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake until the cake springs back when touched, about 15 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes, then gently flip it out onto a large piece of parchment paper.

For the Filling: Combine the egg yolks, cornstarch and 1 cup of the heavy cream in a mixing bowl. Whisk to blend well. Set aside. Combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups cream and sugar in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to dissolve the sugar and bring to a gentle boil, cooking for about 1
