Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir the butter with a hand mixer until foamy. Gradually stir in sugar, vanilla sugar and salt.
  2. Stir in the two eggs one after the other and finally incorporate the flour mixed with baking powder alternately with the 2 tablespoons of milk in portions until a homogeneous mixture is formed. The dough should fall from the spoon with difficulty.
  3. Grease a cake tin (28 mm dia) and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pour in the dough and smooth it out.
  4. Bake the cake base for 20-25 minutes at 175-195 ° C until golden yellow.
  5. Place the baked base with the mold on a wire rack to cool down. Once cooled, fall out of the tin and place on a cake tin to top it.
  6. Tip:
  7. If I cover a cake base with fruits that pull a lot of juice (strawberries or raspberries for example) - then I first coat the base with a thin layer of melted, white chocolate and put it in the refrigerator for a while until the chocolate layer has hardened . Only then do I cover the bottom and put a sufficient layer of cake glaze over it so that all fruits are well covered.
