Servings 16

Ingredients
  

  • 5 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups 180 gr Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract or 2 packages Vanilla Sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/4 Liter Eierlikör I used Verpoorten Advocaat
  • 1/4 Liter Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 cup 90 gr Cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cup 160 gr All Purpose Flour
  • 5 teaspoons Baking Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Butter a Gugelhopf pan (My Oma would use the butter wrapper, and rub it in the grooves)
  • Combine the Eggs, Powdered Sugar, Vanilla Extract and pinch of salt in a mixer. Beat until thick and a bit foamy. Don't skimp on this step. (I let the machine work for 5 minutes)
  • Add the Eierlikör, beat 2 minutes
  • Add the Oil, beat 2 more minutes
  • Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch and baking powder), then carefully fold them into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Gugelhopf form. It will look fairly runny.
  • Bake 60 minutes... check if it's done by sticking in a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, take it out. If there is still wet dough on the toothpick, bake a little longer.
  • Let the baked cake sit on a rack for 10 minutes to set.
  • Turn the cake out of the pan, and cool completely.

To Serve:

  • Dust with powdered sugar- scoop powdered sugar into a sieve, and shake it over the cake
  • Top with a Zuckerguß (Simple glaze) - Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, a few teaspoons Eierlikör and a tablespoon of milk. Stir until smooth. It should be thick, but still flow. Pour over the cake.
