Sugar - 1 cup
Eggs - 5 small/medium

Oil - 3 tbsp

Method

Pre-heat oven in 180 degree and keep a 6 inch tray lined with parchment paper /baking sheet ready

1. Firstly, sift flour three times and keep aside.
2. In an electric mixer or in a bowl beat egg one by one.
3. Add sugar gradually and beat in every addition .
4. Beat until the mixture becomes light and creamy, around 7-10 minutes on high speed
5. Then add vanilla essence and whisk for few minutes in high speed until it it well combined.
6. Add half of the flour and fold the batter.
7. Add oil
8.Add rest of the flour and add fold the batter until well combined. Do not over mix.
9. Add the batter to the prepared tin and bake it for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes clean.

Note: The sugar and egg should be mixed very well until it is very light and creamy (it took me almost 30 minutes with my basic electric mixer)and this will decide how soft and fluffy the cake be!
