- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cooking salt
- 4 large eggs, at room temp
- 1 1/2 cups caster / superfine sugar
- 115g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 1 cup milk, full fat
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tsp vegetable or canola oil
- 225g unsalted butter, softened
- 500g soft icing sugar / powdered sugar, sifted
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 – 4 tbsp milk, to adjust thickness
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) and let it warm for 20 minutes before making the batter. Ensure the shelf is in the middle of the oven.
- Grease two 20cm / 8” cake pans with butter and line them with parchment paper. It’s best to use pans without a loose base.
Notes
For best results, ensure your baking powder is still active to achieve a fluffy cake.
Using room temperature eggs helps incorporate air and creates a lighter batter.
