2 Done	Sprinkle two teaspoons baking powder over your flour.
3 Done	Mix some salt with your dry components.
4 Done	Transfer one part of butter and the sugar (except ten tablespoons) into the mixing bowl.
5 Done	Savour your batter to come with vanilla extract.
6 Done	Beat the eggs into your mixing bowl gradually, one by one. Don't forget to stir the mixture for a bit after each egg.
7 Done	You should achieve the absolutely smooth texture before adding the dry components and buttermilk with vinegar.
8 Done	Sieve the flour with baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl, only a few tablespoons. Mix for a bit.
9 Done	Add some buttermilk into your batter and stir it. Then keep alternating the flour mix and buttermilk until they are finished.
10 Done	Get the homogenous texture before passing on to the next step.
11 Done	Pour the cider vinegar and intermix it with the batter. Now it's ready.
12 Done	Transfer the left butter and sugar into the saucepan.
13 Done	Pour your brandy over.
14 Done	Shake out the vanilla extract into the mix.
15 Done	Heat this mixture for a minute, stirring all the time.

20 Done	After the cake is ready, let it stand for 30 minutes before taking it out from the spring form.
