Basic recipe according to Grandma
Mix the flour with the starch and baking powder and sift into a bowl. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, adding a pinch of salt. Beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually add the egg yolks. (Beat for about 30 seconds per egg yolk.) Gradually add the flour mixture and finally the milk. Mix everything until there are no more lumps. Finally, carefully and slowly fold in the beaten egg whites. (The batter should pull away from the spoon with difficulty.) You can now refine the batter as desired. Either with raisins or by halving it and adding about 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to one half, etc. It tastes particularly good if you add 5 drops of vanilla essence and scatter about 500g of fruit over the batter. It stays moist and light for a long time. Bake the cake on the middle shelf at about 165°C for at least 45-50 minutes.
