First of all, We have to preheat our oven into 180 Celsius and prepare our 2 baking pan size 20 cm then pan greased them and place a parchment paper. Parchment paper is recommended to ensure you will have a clean release each and every time on baking pan.
Here are the ingredients:
4 large free range eggs at room temperature
2 cups of caster sugar
8 oz of Milk or skim milk
8 tbsp Butter
1 tsbp Vanilla extract
2 cups Plain Flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt.
The Procedure:
As I mentioned before in our starter...You don't necessary need to have a Kitchen Aid Mixer you can still use your old fashioned way electric mixer or hand mixers. So our first step is - Whip our 4 large eggs on a high speed with the whipping attachment until foamy, and gradually start adding in your sugar very slowly.
Whipping the eggs and sugar can takes 5 minutes to reach the ribbon stage, or can create a figure 8 on your batter.
Meanwhile, In the Microwave heat your milk and butter and reserved.
Always do not forget to sift all your dry ingredients ( Flour, baking powder, and salt )
Once the ribbon stage is created on our batter ( egg/sugar ) mixture, very thick. Add the vanilla in the mixture. We can start now adding our dry ingredients on a low speed so you do not have a flour shower all over your kitchen :)
Then you can gradually go up to a higher speed to make sure it is all incorporated evenly.
Next you will prepare a liason with the milk/butter mixture. A liason is a techinique in which rather than dumping the liquids straight into the main batter causing deflating of this delicate foam we took such care to achieve, you will have to take out about 2 cups of the cake batter into your reserve milk and butter. THen whisk it all together and then proceed to add this liason to the original cake batter in your Kitchen Aid bowl or electric mixer.
Bake the cake at 180 C for about 25 minutes, then lower the temp into 150 C to continue baking UNTIL IT'S DONE....
Cake is done when you gently press the center and its springs back immediately.
Happy Baking Everyone :)
