Polish cake

To prepare a delicious and fluffy cake, we start by ensuring we have all the ingredients at hand. You will need 200 g of sugar, 3 large eggs, 150 g of butter, a pinch of salt, 1 packet of baking powder, 250 g of flour, and flavors to your liking, such as vanilla essence or grated lemon zest. If you wish to add an extra touch of flavor, you can include candied fruits or raisins, which will provide an interesting texture and a sweet-sour taste.

Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, mix the sugar with the three eggs and a pinch of salt for about 10 minutes. It is essential to beat them well, as the more air is incorporated into the mixture, the fluffier the cake will be. The color of the mixture should become lighter, and the consistency should be creamy.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan, being careful not to burn it. Once melted, let it cool slightly, then gradually add it to the beaten eggs with sugar, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. To this mixture, add your preferred flavors: a teaspoon of vanilla essence or grated lemon zest for a fresh taste.

After all the wet ingredients are well incorporated, start adding the flour mixed with the baking powder. It is advisable to sift it before adding to avoid lumps. Gently mix with a spatula until the ingredients are perfectly combined.

If you choose to add candied fruits or raisins, now is the time to incorporate them into the batter, mixing gently to distribute them evenly. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour the batter into the tray, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cake at moderate heat for 30-35 minutes. When ready, the cake should be golden, and a tester inserted in the middle should come out clean. Let it cool slightly in the tray before removing it to a rack. It is perfectly served alongside a cup of coffee or a glass of milk, making it ideal for a sweet snack at any time of the day. Enjoy every bite of this simple yet extremely tasty recipe!
