Method

  1. 1

    Whip the soft, room-temperature butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a stand mixer or with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

  2. 2

    Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

  3. 3

    Add the mixture of potato starch and baking powder, and mix until combined.

  4. 4

    Pour into a thoroughly greased and breaded bundt pan (approx. 2 l capacity). Choose a pan with a simpler, less intricate pattern, as this cake sticks to the pan very easily.

  5. 5

    Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 175 degrees for approx. 50 minutes.

  6. 6

    Let the cake cool in the pan for a moment before turning it out. Decorate the cooled cake by dusting it with sifted powdered sugar.
