Method

  1. 1

    Bake. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 175°C. Grease pan with butter. Put butter in a little saucepan over a mid-sized flame. Cook, mixing now and then, till melted. Carry on cooking (the butter will foam) till it is fragrant and a nutty brown color. Take the pan off the heat plus tip through a sieve in a big bowl. Leave till it is cold to room temperature. Beat together flour, baking powder, and salt; keep to one side in a little bowl. Add brown sugar to bowl with butter and beat till there are no lumps left. Add egg and vanilla and beat to mix. Mix in dry ingredients till only just incorporated. Tip batter into pan and smooth top. Bake till a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20-30 minutes. Leave till it is cold at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Storage

Keep covered and eat within a few days; freeze leftovers if the dish allows it.
