Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making this wonderfully unpretentious cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, grab a large mixing bowl and blend together the sugar and softened butter. You want to mix it until it’s nice and creamy, which should only take a couple of minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they’re fully incorporated before adding the next. I love how the mixture transforms into a lovely yellow hue, which always promises deliciousness ahead! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
