 Ingredients: 3 eggs, 100 g butter, 250 g sugar, 250 g flour, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1 packet baking powder, 1 packet vanilla sugar, 1 essence of lemon, 40 g mosaic decoration

To prepare a delicious cake that will surely impress everyone who tastes it, follow the detailed steps that will guide you through each stage of the process. Start by preparing all the necessary ingredients: 200 g of butter, 200 g of sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, 4 eggs, 300 g of flour, 1 packet of baking powder, 200 ml of milk, 40 g of mosaic decoration, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the butter is at room temperature so that it can be easily incorporated with the sugar.

In a large bowl, cream the soft butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar using a mixer or spatula until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color. This step is essential for achieving an airy texture. Once you have a smooth cream, add lemon essence, which will provide a fresh aroma and a touch of acidity to the cake. Then, gradually incorporate the egg yolks, mixing well after each addition.

In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder to avoid lumps. Start incorporating the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the warm milk. Mix gently to avoid losing air in the mixture. When everything is well combined, prepare the egg whites. Whip them with a pinch of salt until you achieve a firm foam, which will help the cake rise.

After the egg whites are whipped, carefully fold them into the butter mixture, mixing with a spatula from the bottom up to avoid deflating them. This step is very important, as the whipped egg whites are what will make the cake fluffy. Add 30 g of the mosaic decoration into the batter and mix gently to distribute it evenly.

Prepare a loaf pan, greasing it with butter and dusting it with flour to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan, leveling it nicely. Sprinkle the remaining mosaic decoration on top for an attractive appearance. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40-50 minutes, or until it turns golden and passes the toothpick test.

Once it is done, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy it with a cup of tea or coffee, savoring its inviting aroma and fluffy texture. This cake will surely be a delight on any occasion's table!
