Steps

1

Beat the eggs, add the sugar, and continue beating. Gradually add all the ingredients in order, mixing well after each addition.
2

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch (22 cm) pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 50 minutes.
3

While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup: combine all the syrup ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until it thickens.
4

When you take the cake out of the oven, poke holes all over the surface and pour the cooled syrup over the cake. Let the cake cool a bit before removing it from the pan.
5

That's it! You'll have a delicious, fluffy, and moist cake.
