Instructions

Scrape down the sides twice as you cream butter and sugar in a stand mixer for 5 minutes. They should become airy and fluffy. You can utilise electric beaters.

Step 2

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well and scraping down. Continue beating for 2-3 minutes! (A lot of thrashing, but it will pay off.) Now your batter should be silken.

Step 6

A centre toothpick should not have wet batter on it. Don't insert your toothpick directly into a crack; insert diagonally. To avoid overbrowning, I loosely tent the cake at the end.
