Cake a La Vergeoise

1. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees C.
2. Mix the melted butter along with the cane sugar, brown vergeoise in a medium sized bowl until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
3. Now stir in the egg yolks, milk, flour, yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg seeds, green anise, star anise, the four spices powder, baking powder, and the almond puree.
4. Beat in the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
5. Now gently add the mixture in the dough with the help of a spatula.
6. Pour the dough into a cake mold or any other shape of your choice.
7. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 50 to an hour, until the cake expands, and turns golden brown.
8. To test if the cake is properly baked, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake if it comes out clean then it means that the cake is fully baked.
9. Once the cake is baked, take it out of the oven. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
10. Serve the cake by slicing into equal pieces and enjoy!
