Ingredients
For the Cake:

• 2 large eggs
• 8g (1 tbsp) vanilla sugar

• A pinch of salt
• 60ml (¼ cup) oil
• 70ml (⅓ cup) milk

Directions

1. Whip Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until pale and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
