Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 whole eggs
- 4 packets vanilla pudding powder (approximately 3.4 ounces or 96 grams each)
- 1 cup (200 ml / 200 grams) oil
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2.5 teaspoons (12 ml) vanilla extract
Leavening Agent:
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
Instructions
- Vigorously whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture transforms into a pale, frothy consistency with increased volume.
- Stream oil into the egg mixture while continuously stirring, creating a smooth, homogeneous batter that maintains a light texture.
- Incorporate vanilla pudding powder, vanilla extract, and baking powder, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients without lumps.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a loaf tin by generously coating with butter or oil and dusting lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Transfer batter into the prepared loaf tin, using a spatula to spread evenly and create a level surface for consistent baking.
- Position the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, rotating halfway through to ensure uniform browning.
- Test cake doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center – it should emerge without any raw batter clinging to it.
- Remove from oven and let the cake rest in the tin for 10 minutes, allowing it to settle and prevent potential crumbling.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a wire cooling rack, allowing it to reach room temperature before slicing to maintain its delicate structure.
Notes
- Maximize the cake’s fluffiness by thoroughly beating eggs and sugar until they become light and frothy, creating a delicate texture.
- Gradually add oil to prevent a greasy consistency, ensuring a smooth and well-integrated batter that maintains the cake’s delightful mouthfeel.
- Enhance the vanilla flavor by using high-quality vanilla extract or adding a vanilla bean scraping for a more intense and authentic taste experience.
- Experiment with dietary modifications by substituting pudding powder with gluten-free alternatives or using sugar-free options for those with specific nutritional needs.
