## Ingredients

- 200 g butter
- 200 g sugar
- 200 g flour
- 2 packets vanilla sugar, 8 g each
- 1 packet baking powder, 16 g
- 4 eggs
- a little salt

## Instructions

I'd like to share a recipe for babka (a Polish tube-pan cake, similar to a pound cake) with you. An extraordinary babka: delicious, fluffy, buttery, light and melt-in-your-mouth. On top of that, it's very simple and quick to make. Its biggest and only flaw is that it disappears very quickly.

The recipe comes from dirk.

**Instructions:**

Cream the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and a small pinch of salt until fluffy. Then add one egg and mix well, then add the remaining eggs one at a time. Finally, add the sifted flour with the baking powder.

Grease the baking pan with butter and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs. Bake for about 45 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F).

Useful tips:

The eggs and butter should be at room temperature.

You can add lemon or orange zest to the batter.

After baking, dust the babka with powdered sugar.

Once you have a babka like this, you can work wonders with it. I decided to give mine as a gift to my new neighbors, whose family recently grew by one male member. For the occasion, so it wouldn't be boring, I decorated it like this:
