PREPARATION:

Homemade cake:

1. Check out the version of the cake you are about to prepare. In some of them the milk should be replaced, check the ingredients.
2. If your butter is not at the point of ointment, beat with the wire whisk until soft, only then continue, adding the sugar, beating until a whitish cream is obtained.
3. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, and continue beating to incorporate.
4. Turn off the mixer and wash the whisk.
5. With a spatula or a wire whisk, gradually add the flour and the milk or its substitutes (depending on the recipe variant), beating until a smooth cream is obtained.
6. In another bowl, in a mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form peaks (snow).
