  • 200 g flour
  • 200 g butter
  • 200 g sugar
  • 3 eggs

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Cream the sugar and butter until fluffy, stir in the eggs, and mix everything on high speed until fluffy. Sift the flour and baking powder and stir in. Grease the baking pan and bake at 175-200°C for about 70 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, turn out onto a wire rack, turn over, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. I’m sharing this recipe here for nostalgic reasons. It was in my first English textbook in 5th grade, and I was very proud to be able to bake it myself. It was a long time ago, but perhaps it reminds some of you of your own first English lessons.
