This is Mira's Grandma's cake:
Ingredients:
200 gram butter (soft)
200 gram caster sugar
3 eggs
50 gram milk
200 gram self-raising flour
10 gram custard
1 packet of vanilla sugar
tiny pinch of salt
The tin I use to bake this is 28 cm by 10 and 8 cm deep.
Mix the soft butter and sugar to a white cream at high speed. Add the eggs one at a time with a bit of time in between.
Then add the milk. Add sifted flour, custard and a pinch of salt.
Mix it on the highest setting.
put it in the tin. Make it smooth and then in the center of the oven for 70 minutes at 140 degrees celcius. After this time I take it out and wrap
it in aluminium foil and let it cool down.
This is a great basis. My mum loves lemon. So I add lemon extract and put a lemon juice, powdered suger topping on it. Or as we have stroopwafels in holland. I crumble a few up and
mix it in.
Endless posibilities. But the basis is awesome as well. A little moist but not to much.
I have tried a lot of different ones. I feel the secret ingredient is the custard. It changes the whole thing from bland to awesome.
