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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line the bottom of two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture in three additions, using a spatula to avoid deflating the batter.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Once cooled, use as a base for your favorite layered cake or enjoy as is with whipped cream and fresh berries.
