Steps to prepare paradise cake
Preparing this cake is really simple.
In a bowl, break the eggs and add the sugar. With the help of an electric whisk, whisk everything for a few minutes until you get a frothy and fluffy mixture. This step is important to give lightness to the cake.
Add the vegetable oil in a thin stream into the egg and sugar mixture. Continue whisking until fully absorbed.
Add a pinch of salt and the flour gradually.
Add the potato starch and continue to work the mixture for 5 minutes until you achieve a lump-free consistency.
Finally, add the sifted baking powder to ensure regular rising during baking. Work for a few seconds to make sure the baking powder is well distributed throughout the batter.
Butter and flour a round pan with a diameter of 9.5-10 inches, or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and level the surface with a spatula. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 340°F for about 30 minutes. Always check the baking by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for fifteen minutes, then gently remove it from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
Before serving, dust the surface with powdered sugar.
