    In the meantime, mix the fat, 200 g sugar, salt and 1 packet of vanilla sugar until creamy with the whisks of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one by one. Mix flour with baking powder and stir in the fat-egg mixture alternately with milk.

    Put the dough into a greased springform pan (24 cm Ø) sprinkled with flour and smooth it down. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 55 minutes.

    Cover with foil after approx. 40 minutes. Remove and let cool in the mould on a cake rack.
