whisk butter, sugar, and vanilla until mixture fades. Add eggs, one by one,
whisking until smooth.
Add dry ingredients and liquid ingredients,
alternating and mixing with a wooden spoon.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool before
unmoulding. Allow cooling on a wire rack.
