About this recipe

Ah, the classic soft cake! This cake reminds me of the snacks of my childhood, at my grandmother's house. She often prepared it, and the smell of vanilla that perfumed the house was a real delight. It's a simple cake, certainly, but its simplicity is precisely what makes it so comforting and timeless. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in the success of this soft cake. The flour, preferably of type T55, provides the necessary structure. The icing sugar, finer than granulated sugar, dissolves more easily and contributes to a lighter texture. The vanilla sugar, meanwhile, delicately perfumes the cake. The oil, neutral in taste (sunflower or rapeseed), brings softness without masking the other flavors. The milk hydrates the dough and also contributes to its tenderness. The eggs, of course, are essential to bind the ingredients and give body to the cake. Finally, the baking powder ensures a beautiful rise and an airy texture. With the Thermomix®, the preparation is child's play. The crucial step is mixing the eggs and sugar. It is important to respect the indicated time (5 minutes) to obtain a very frothy mixture, which will guarantee a light cake. Do not hesitate to use the spatula to scrape the edges of the bowl after adding the flour and baking powder, to ensure that all the ingredients are well incorporated. For optimal cooking, preheat your oven well and monitor the cooking with a toothpick. It must come out dry. This soft cake lends itself to many variations. For a vegetarian version, simply use the ingredients indicated. For a vegan version, you can replace the eggs with applesauce (about 150g) and the milk with a plant-based drink (almond, soy, etc.). You can also personalize the taste by adding lemon or orange zest, spices (cinnamon, ginger), or even chocolate chips. For tasting, the classic soft cake is perfect as is, sprinkled with icing sugar. But you can also accompany it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a custard, or a red fruit coulis. It also goes very well with a cup of tea or coffee. The soft cake can be kept for several days in an airtight box, at room temperature. You can also freeze it, whole or in portions. To prepare it in advance, you can prepare the dough the day before and keep it in the refrigerator. Then simply pour it into the mold and bake it.
