Ingredients:
- Eggs: 4 (approximately 250g)
- All-Purpose Flour: 250g
- Unsalted Butter: 250g (softened)
- Granulated Sugar: 240g
- Vanilla Sugar: 10g (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- Baking Powder: 2 tsp
Instructions:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Weigh all ingredients, ensuring the butter, sugar, and flour match the weight of the eggs (approximately 250g each). Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: Melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Eggs: Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the flour to the wet mixture in small batches to avoid lumps. Once fully incorporated, add the baking powder and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
5. Bake to Perfection: Grease a loaf pan or cake mold. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven. Start checking for doneness after 40 minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, typically after 50-60 minutes. Allow it to cool before serving.
