Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Cake flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 6 Large eggs
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes pale, thick, and triples in volume.
Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture in three additions, using a spatula to avoid deflating the batter.
Gradually pour the warm milk and butter mixture along the side of the bowl (not directly onto the batter) and gently fold it in until fully incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges and turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, use as a base for your favorite layered cake or enjoy as is with whipped cream and fresh berries.
