Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. You can use butter or a non-stick spray—whatever you have handy in your kitchen. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until it’s fluffy and light. This step is super important; achieving that airy texture gives the cake its lovely rise. Add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is well incorporated before adding the next. This is where the magic begins! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
