4 eggs

50g + 140g sugar 

200g plain flour

1. Separate the eggs. Beat egg whites until soft peak & add in 50g sugar gradually. Beat till stiff peak & set aside. 

2. Cream butter & 150g sugar till pale & fluffy. Put in vanilla seeds & beat for a while. Add in egg yolks one by one till well mixed.

3. Sift in flour & mix on low speed until incorporated. Add in milk in 2 additions & mix until well incorporated. Mix in balance of flour.

4. Put 1/2 the egg whites in & mix on low speed. Pour the balance egg whites in & fold.

5. Pour batter into pan & bake in a preheated oven @ 160 degrees for 45mins.

 

Verdict: Just like what Wendy had mentioned, it is a non cracked butter cake, soft & fluffy!
