Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 Large eggs (at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- confectioners sugar (for dusting)
Directions
| 1. | Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet. |
| 2. | In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until very light and fluffy…this will take 3-4 minutes. Scrape sides of bowl with a spatula occasionally. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat well. Put the flour, baking powder and salt in a sifter and sift into the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until until combined…do not over mix at this point. |
| 3. | Pour batter into prepared cast iron skillet. This is a thick batter so you will need to spread it out evenly (an off-set spatula works well here if you have one). Bake for 30 minutes or until cake is lightly brown and set. Remove from oven and let cool. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar. Can be served warm or room temperature. Can be made ahead, cooled and wrapped well until ready to serve. |
