The story behind
Baking this cake feels like a trip down memory lane. It reminds me so much of those afternoons spent in the kitchen helping stir the batter just so I could lick the spoon at the end. It's such a reliable recipe because, despite its simplicity, it has that honest flavor that makes you crave another slice. I love making it for a mid-afternoon snack as the sun starts to set; you don't need anything more than a good cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk to make the moment perfect. It's truly happiness on a plate.
Instructions
-
1First, preheat your oven to 180°C and grease your pan well so nothing sticks.
-
2Beat the eggs with the sugar until they look pale and fluffy; this adds air to the sponge.
-
3Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract gently.
-
4Gradually add the flour and baking powder, alternating with the milk until the batter is nice and smooth.
-
5Pour everything into the mold and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the smell fills the room and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
6Let it cool for a bit before taking it out of the mold. Serve it with good conversation and your favorite drink!
