- For this recipe I used unsalted butter made by Lurpak.

- Heat the milk with the butter until the butter is completely dissolved. Remove the milk from the heat before the boiling point.
- Pour half of the milk into the egg/flour mixture and stir. Add the other half and mix until combined. At this point you can add some extra flavour to you cake like for example lemon zest or vanilla extract.
- Line a square pan with parchment paper. Pour in the mixture and bake in preheated static oven at 180 °C for 25 – 30 minutes.
- Check if the cake is ready by putting a toothpick at the center. If the toothpick comes out clean that means it is ready. If it is still wet and sticky you should extende the baking time.
