1
Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat. Whip the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy.
2
Add the eggs a little at a time and mix until smooth.
3
Mix the flour and baking powder, sieve and gradually stir into the mixture.
4
Stir the milk into the batter as well. If necessary, add a little more liquid if the dough is still too dry.
5
Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 60 minutes.

Towards the end of the baking time, test the cake with a wooden stick: if no dough remains on the stick, the cake is done. After baking, leave the Gugelhupf to stand in the tin for a few minutes and then turn out onto a rack to cool. Dust with icing sugar.
