Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease a bundt pan or 9-inch round cake pan and dust it with sugar or rice flour.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly foamy. Add the oil, milk and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

Gradually sift in the rice flour, baking powder and salt, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until deep golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra airy texture, separate the eggs and beat the whites to stiff peaks before folding them gently into the batter. Swap regular milk for coconut milk for a tropical-inspired twist that pairs beautifully with a mango coulis.
