This is a very light and airy cake..most probably due to the eggs beaten to fluffy ribbons. It's a recipe from taste of home . But I have cut down on the sugar because I felt that it was too sweet the first time I made it.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 cups full fat milk
140gm unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
Prepare a 9inch cake tin by lining with parchment paper followed by greasing with butter.
Heat the oven to 175 degree C.
Melt the butter in the milk. No need to boil, just hot.
Beat the eggs and sugar with vanilla on high speed until the mixture falls in ribbons from the beaters.
Sift the dry ingredients. Add to the egg mix in 3 parts mixing on low speed after each addition.
Finally add the milk mix to it and mix well until smooth. The entire batter will be warm to touch.
Pour in to pan and bake until done.. for me 1 hr and 10 mins.
Cool and serve.
