Ingredients
You likely already have most of these ingredients at home:
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- ½ cup (115g) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (500ml) warm milk
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- Sliced almonds (optional, for topping)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Lightly grease a square or rectangular baking dish (about 20×20 cm). You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Step 2: Beat Eggs and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and slightly fluffy. This step helps create a light texture in the finished cake.
