Add in a splash of vanilla extract (higher quality vanilla extract makes a huge difference in outcome)
(Optional) Add in the zest of half-a-lemon.
Make sure all of the above is well-mixed. If using a standmixer, use the beater attachment on the lowest setting for a minute or two)
Mix about a teaspoon of baking soda with water and add this to the mix
Use the next-to-lowest setting on the mixer for a minute, or a vigorous round of spoon-beating.
Add in an egg, repeat the beating above until you can see bubbles in the mix.
