3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients mix together more easily and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
