Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 60 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Number of servings: 12 servings

Ingredients:
- 8 fresh eggs
- 250 g Rama margarine
- 225 g flour
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 liter of lukewarm milk
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 250 g sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- Powdered sugar for decoration

Making this dessert is a real pleasure! Here’s how you can achieve the perfect smart cake, step by step.

Step 1: Separating the eggs
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Ensure that the bowls you are working in are clean, without any traces of fat, so that the egg whites whip well. This is a crucial step, as the volume and texture of the cake depend on the foam obtained from the egg whites.

Step 2: Beating the yolks
In a large bowl, beat the yolks with the vanilla sugar and granulated sugar, adding the 2 tablespoons of water. Use an electric mixer or a whisk until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture becomes creamy and light in color.

Step 3: Adding the margarine
Melt the Rama margarine in the microwave for about 1 minute, but let it cool slightly before adding it to the yolk mixture. Mix the composition well.

Step 4: Enriching the flavors
Now it’s time to add the vanilla essence, sifted flour, and lukewarm milk, mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous composition.

Step 5: Beating the egg whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This step is essential for giving the cake an airy texture. Gently fold them into the yolk mixture using a spatula, making large up-and-down movements to avoid deflating them.

Step 6: Preparing the baking pan
Grease a baking pan of approximately 30 x 24 cm with margarine and dust it with flour. This step will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.

Step 7: Baking the cake
Pour the obtained mixture into the pan and place it in the preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius, on the middle rack. It is very important not to open the oven door during baking; otherwise, the cake will not rise properly!

Step 8: Cooling
After about an hour, take the pan out of the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan. This will help form the distinct layers. Once cooled, slice the cake and sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant look.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Why is it called smart cake?

2. Can I use butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can replace margarine with butter, but make sure it is melted and allowed to cool before adding.

3. How can I vary the recipe?
Instead of vanilla essence, you can add orange or lemon flavor for a refreshing citrus taste. You can also add melted chocolate to the batter for a chocolate cake.

For a perfect sweet moment, serve the smart cake alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a berry sauce.
