Crack 4 eggs at room temperature into a deep mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and beat with mixer for 10 minutes.
Add 1 glass of oil and 1 glass of milk at room temperature to the mixture, which swells and becomes creamy, and mix.
Sift the flour, baking powder and vanilla through a fine wire sieve and gradually add them to the mixture by turning them upside down with a spatula.
Grease the cake mold with oil with the help of a brush and sprinkle 1-2 pinches of flour.
Turn on your oven and set it to 170 degrees.
Take the cake mix into the preheated oven without waiting too long and bake for 40-45 minutes without opening the door.
At the end of the time, insert a toothpick into the thickest part of the cake and remove it. If the toothpick comes out dry, your cake is cooked to perfection.
Take your baked cake out and let it rest for 1/2 hour in its own mold. When cool, turn it upside down on a plate and knock it out of the mold with a wooden spoon.
If you wish, you can decorate your sliced cake by sprinkling it with powdered sugar or cinnamon and serve. Enjoy your meal!

Flour:
Flour is a fundamental foodstuff obtained by grinding grains. It provides our body with a long-lasting energy source, especially through complex carbohydrates. Varieties like whole wheat flour, thanks to their high fiber content, support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and help stabilize blood sugar levels. It also contains essential B vitamins (especially B1, B3, B9) and important minerals such as iron and magnesium, which are crucial for nervous system functions, energy production, and blood formation. It is versatile in the kitchen; forming the base for baked goods like bread and pastries when combined with milk, eggs, and yeast, while also being used to thicken sauces or create harmonious flavors with vegetables.
Egg:
Eggs are a highly bioavailable protein source, essential for muscle growth and repair. Rich in B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and choline, they support brain function, nervous system health, and energy production. Lutein and zeaxanthin pigments aid eye health, reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Despite their cholesterol content, eggs typically don't adversely affect blood cholesterol in most healthy individuals. A breakfast staple, eggs pair wonderfully with various ingredients like cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and whole-wheat bread.
Liquid Oil:
Liquid oils (sunflower, olive, etc.) are essential kitchen ingredients that add flavor to dishes and contain healthy unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. Ideal for frying, salad dressings, baking, and sautéing. They pair perfectly with vegetables, meats, legumes, and grains. They offer easy cooking.
Vanilla:
Derived from the orchid family, vanilla is a unique spice that adds depth to desserts. Thanks to its vanillin content, it's a potent antioxidant source, helping prevent cell damage. Known for its calming and mood-enhancing effects, it can contribute to stress reduction. It is also believed to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Vanilla pairs perfectly with chocolate, coffee, caramel, fruits, and dairy products, enriching their flavors.
Baking Powder:
Baking powder is a leavening agent typically composed of sodium bicarbonate and an acid, giving baked goods their rise. While it offers no direct nutritional benefits, its sodium bicarbonate content can provide temporary relief from heartburn and indigestion, and even support oral hygiene as a gargle. However, excessive consumption leads to high sodium intake. It pairs wonderfully with flour, sugar, dairy products, eggs, and fruits; it's indispensable in cakes, cookies, and bread.
Milk:
Milk is rich in calcium and Vitamin D, supporting bone and teeth health. Its high-quality protein content is crucial for muscle development. B vitamins (B2, B12) contribute to energy metabolism and support nervous system health. It also contains components that strengthen the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, cereals, fruits, honey, or cocoa. It forms an indispensable base for many sweet and savory recipes.
