Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat the oven to 160°C up and down (150°C with fan). Lightly grease the cake mold; If you want, put baking paper on the bottom.
Sift the dry ingredients
Sift the flour and baking powder together and set aside. This gives the cake a more even texture.
Beat the butter and sugar
Beat room temperature butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes, until it becomes light in color and fluffy. Scrape off what sticks to the edges with a spatula.
Add the eggs
Add the eggs one by one and beat briefly after each addition. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature so that the mixture does not curdle.
Fold in the vanilla and milk.
Add vanilla and milk and mix briefly. Milk improves the consistency of the dough.
Add the flour and gather the dough
Add the sifted flour mixture in 2-3 times. Mix by folding from bottom to top with a spatula; Don't beat too much, so the cake doesn't harden.
Bake
Transfer the dough to the mold and level the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes; When the toothpick comes out clean, take it out of the oven.
Let it rest and serve
Let the cake rest in the tin for 10–15 minutes, then place it on a wire rack and cool completely. You can slice it and serve it plain or sift powdered sugar over it.
