by

Ingredients;

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups (400grams/14.1Oz) of sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-1/4 cups (270grams/ 9.5Oz) all-purpose flour
  • 2-1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
  • 10 tbsp butter cubed

Instructions;

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, using the wire whip attachment, beat eggs on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick, at least double the size, and the egg mixture turns a light yellow colour.
  2. Gradually add sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 more minutes). Beat in vanilla.
  3. Combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Gradually add to batter, beating at low speed until smooth.
  4. Heat milk and butter in a small saucepan until melted. Gradually add to batter; beat on low speed until just combined.
  5. Pour into a greased 10-in. spring foam pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the centre comes out clean.
  6. Cool completely before cutting and serving.
