Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 150 grams Granulated erythritol
• 4 large Eggs, at room temperature
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 10 grams Baking powder
• 120 ml Milk, at room temperature
• 5 ml Vanilla extract
• 2 grams Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
