Beat the butter, vanilla essence, and sugar with a mixer using a whisk attachment at medium speed until creamy; you will notice that the butter begins to have a slightly lighter color and a fluffy consistency. Lower the speed and add the baking powder, gradually add the rice flour and wheat flour; beat at low speed to incorporate slowly. Then pour in the eggs one by one, without stopping beating, and finish incorporating the mixture. You should obtain a uniform and fluffy consistency. Set aside.
