Ingredients
- eggs - 4 (large eggs)
- vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon (one spoonful)
- fine white sugar - 1 cup (preferably fine grains)
- vegetable oil - 1/2 cup (any neutral oil)
- all-purpose flour - 2 1/2 cups (sifted for fluffiness)
- baking powder - 2 1/2 teaspoons (small spoons)
- boiling milk - 1 cup (with a pinch of salt)
- butter - 1/2 cup (to melt in boiling milk)
- vinegar - 1 tablespoon (large spoon)
- salt - a pinch (a pinch added to milk)
Instructions
- Prepare egg mixture: Beat 4 eggs with 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Add 1 cup of fine white sugar and mix well until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add oil: Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to the egg and sugar mixture and continue stirring to combine.
- Sift dry ingredients: Sift together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently in one direction until combined.
- Prepare milk and butter mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of boiling milk with a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of butter. The butter will melt in the hot milk.
- Combine milk mixture and vinegar: Add the hot milk and melted butter mixture to the cake batter while continuing to beat. Then add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and mix until the batter reaches a smooth consistency.
- Prepare baking pan: Grease a cake pan thoroughly with margarine, butter, or oil, including the sides. Lightly sprinkle flour over the greased pan and distribute evenly.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) on the middle rack with heat from the bottom only. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Serve: Let the cake cool slightly. Serve with tea, milk, or pour a little milk over the cake. Optionally, enjoy with light jam and a sprinkle of sugar for added sweetness.
