300 g plain \/ all purpose flour
\n2 1\/2 tsp baking powder
\n1\/4 tsp salt
\n4 large eggs (50\u201355g each, incl shell), at room temp
\n300 g caster sugar
\n115g unsalted butter
\n250 ml milk , full fat
\n3 tsp vanilla extract
\n3 tsp vegetable or canola oil <\/p>\n

PREPARATION:<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C\/350\u00b0F (160\u00b0C fan) for 20 minutes before starting the batter. Place shelf in the middle of the oven.<\/p>\n

Grease 2 x 20cm \/ 8\u201d cake pans with butter, then line with parchment \/ baking paper. The batter is quite loose, best to use cake pan without loose base, if you can.<\/p>\n

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.<\/p>\n

Beat eggs for 30 seconds on speed 6 of a Stand Mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or hand beater.<\/p>\n

With the beater still going, pour the sugar in over 45 seconds.<\/p>\n

Then beat for 7 minutes on speed 8, or until tripled in volume and white.<\/p>\n

While egg is beating, place butter and milk in a heatproof jug and microwave 2 minutes on high to melt butter (or use stove). Do not let milk bubble and boil (foam ok). Don\u2019t do this ahead and let the milk cool (this affects rise).<\/p>\n

When the egg is whipped, scatter 1\/3 flour across surface, then beat on Speed 1 for 5 seconds. <\/p>\n

Add half remaining flour, then mix on Speed 1 for 5 sec. Add remaining flour, then mix on Speed 1 for 5 \u2013 10 sec until the flour is just mixed in. Once you can\u2019t see flour, stop straight away.<\/p>\n

Pour hot milk, vanilla and oil into the now empty flour bowl. Add about 1 1\/2 cups (2 ladles or so) of the Egg Batter into the Milk-Butter (don’t need to be 100% accurate with amount). Use a whisk to mix until smooth \u2013 you can be vigorous here. Will look foamy. This tempers the milk and will prevent batter from splitting. <\/p>\n

Turn beater back on Speed 1 then pour the Milk mixture into the Egg Batter over 15 seconds, then turn beater off.<\/p>\n

Scrape down sides and base of bowl. Beat on Speed 1 for 10 seconds \u2013 batter should now be smooth and pourable.<\/p>\n

Pour batter into pans.<\/p>\n

Bang each cake pan on the counter 3 times to knock out big bubbles. <\/p>\n

Bake 30 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean.<\/p>\n

Cool in cake pans for 15 minutes, then gently turn out onto cooling racks. If using as layer cakes, cool upside down \u2013 slight dome will flatten perfectly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
