Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating, I recommend greasing your baking pan or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later. In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Then, add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated, followed by the vanilla extract. This mixture should look nice and glossy! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
