- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with butter or line with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 5
Stir in the pure vanilla extract to combine.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the T Cakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve the Tennessee T Cakes warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
