4 large eggs, room temperature (key for fluffiness!)
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 cup (240ml) whole milk, room temp
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
2 cups (250g) cake flour (must use cake flour for ultra-soft texture!)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon (for brightness)
1 tbsp rum or almond extract (for depth)
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar with a mixer for 8-10 mins until pale, thick, and tripled in volume.
Test: When you lift the beaters, the mixture should fall in a slow ribbon that holds its shape for 3 seconds.
🔥 Pro Tip: Room-temperature eggs whip better—place cold eggs in warm water for 5 mins!
Sift together cake flour and baking powder.
Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the egg foam in 3 batches, folding gently with a spatula (no overmixing!).
Drizzle in melted butter and vanilla, folding just until combined.
🍰 Texture Secret: Fold as few times as possible to keep the batter airy!
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 mins until golden and springy (no jiggle!).
Crucial: Cool upside down on a wire rack to prevent collapse!
Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream and berries.
Slice with a serrated knife to preserve the delicate crumb.
☕ Perfect Pairings: Earl Grey tea, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of honey.
📸 Social Media Hack: Film a slow-motion fork pull to showcase the ultra-soft texture.
💰 Monetization Tip: Add a "Pin This for Special Occasions" graphic.
