juicy and delicious

Mix the softened butter with the sugar. Gradually add the eggs until a smooth batter forms. Add the spices, vanilla sugar, baking powder, and sifted flour and mix until a smooth batter forms. Now fold in the mineral water – it’s best not to use a mixer to ensure the batter is as fluffy as possible. Bake the batter in a greased pan for about 60 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Let cool, turn out, and decorate. I like to make a glaze with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and water.
