Step 2
In a medium bowl, add Cake Flour (210 g) and Baking Powder (2 g) . Whisk to combine.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (2) . Use a hand mixer on high speed to beat the egg until fluffy about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually add Granulated Sugar (200 g) while beating on high speed until the mixture become thicker for about 3 minutes. Make sure to use a rubber spatula to scrape the side into the mixture.

Add Vanilla Extract (2 mL) , Lime (1) , Water (50 mL) , and Milk (50 mL) . Beat until just combined.
Step 6
Into the wet mixture, sift in the dry mixture. Use a hand mixer on low speed to mix until combined for about 2 minutes. Make sure to use a rubber spatula to scrape the side into the mixture.
Step 7
