Instructions
1. Place the butter into a bowl and whisk it, gradually adding the sugar in 4〜5 steps. Continue mixing until the butter is smooth and the mixture is well blended.
2. Beat one egg and add it, a little bit at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing constantly to prevent the ingredients from separating.
3. Add the sifted powdered items into the batter. Mix with a rubber spatula until the dry powder is no longer visible.
4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Smooth the surface of the batter so that it is flat, then create an indentation in the middle.

6. Cool. Once the cake is cool enough to touch, remove the aluminum foil and wrap with clear plastic wrap. Place in the fridge overnight.
