Ingredients

  • 125 g raw cane sugar
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar
  • 125 g butter (or margarine)
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 tbsp milk (1.5% fat) (40 ml)
  • 250 g wheat flour type 1050
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Beat the sugar, vanilla sugar and soft fat in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and milk to the sugar-fat mixture and stir well.

  2. 2.

    In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt, then add to the other ingredients. Gently fold until a smooth batter without lumps forms.

  3. 3.

    Line a baking tin with parchment paper, pour the batter in and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C (fan: 150 °C, gas: level 2‑3) for about 40‑50 minutes until golden brown (the flatter the pan, the shorter the bake time).

  4. 4.

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. If necessary, loosen the cake edge with a knife, remove the batter from the tin and set on a cooling rack.
