Description

This classic Egg Cake is a simple yet elegant dessert that relies on just a few quality ingredients to create a light, airy texture.

It&# 226;ÂÂs perfect for afternoon tea, a quick snack, or a light dessert after a heavy meal.

Serve it plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of sophistication.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, melt the butter and canola oil together, then let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg until light and frothy.
  4. Add the vanilla sugar to the egg and mix until well combined and slightly pale.
  5. Slowly pour the melted butter and oil mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  6. Sift the cake flour into the wet ingredients in two batches, folding gently with a spatula until just incorporated to avoid deflating the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
