Baking Powder-1/2 teaspoon
Butter-3 tablespoon

1)Sieve the flour along with baking powder. Keep it aside. 
2)Grease the baking tin with butter and place the baking paper and greaseit again and dust it with
   maida.
3)Beat Eggs and sugar together until the sugar melts and the mixture doubles in quantity.
4)Fold in the sieved flour using the spiral blade in hand mixer.
5)Fold in hot water,melted butter and vanilla essence.
6)Pour the mixture into the tin prepared in Step2.
7)Bake in pre-heated oven at 220°C for 15 mns.
8) After 10 mns, test the cake using a toothpick. If the inserted toothpick comes out clean, the cake is  done.
