Ingredients

10 pieces
  • 225 gram butter
  • 200 gram granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 75 gram crème fraîche
  • 50 ml buttermilk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 275 gram all purpose flour

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Cake tin (25 cm / 10 inch)

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius / 347 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
  • Beat the sugar and butter until light, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time.
  • Add the crème fraîche, buttermilk, baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour and mix to form a smooth dough.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased cake tin and bake for about 50-60 minutes.* Test the cake with a skewer to see if it is done. If it comes out dry, the cake is done. Leave the cake to cool for a while in the tin and then on a wire rack. Enjoy!
Good to know:
*Do you want a nice crack at the top of your cake? Then, before you put the cake in the oven, make a slit with a knife and pour in a little melted butter.
