Generously butter a bundt pan and coat it with plain breadcrumbs.

In a bowl, mix together 225 g of softened butter and 225 g of sugar.

Add 25 g of oil and stir well, then switch to a whisk to fluff it up.

Add the eggs in three additions, incorporating each fully before the next.

Pour in 40 g of CAC and mix together.

Add 120 g of flour, 75 g of potato starch, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, folding gently until cohesive.

Carefully add the batter to the pan dollop by dollop, smoothing the top.

Tap the pan on the counter to knock out air bubbles.

Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes.

Let it sit for 10 minutes before attempting to remove from the mold.

Make a glaze with 200 g of powdered sugar, 30 g of water, and 1 egg white.

Pour the glaze over the cake, covering it completely.
