Vanilla flour cake recipe (serves 3-4 ):
- Wheat Flour - 2 cups / 240 grams
- Powdered Sugar - 2 cups / 400 grams Powdered
- Eggs - 3 (3 bananas if you want an eggless cake)
- Refined Oil - 150 ml
- Milk - 100 ml
- Curd/buttermilk - 100 ml
- Vanilla Essence - 1 tbsp
- Baking Powder - 2 tsp
- Baking Soda - 1 tsp
- Salt - ½ tsp
Baking Step:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F or 180°C for 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix your dry ingredients first. Take a bowl and add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix all the ingredients.
- In another bowl mix all your liquid ingredients. Add softened butter, egg/mashed bananas, oil, vanilla extract, curd and milk. Add milk slowly in small portions till the whole mixture is free of any lumps.
- Now add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients in small batches and do not overmix the batter. You will get thin batter and that’s our goal.
- Now take a baking pan and butter the pan, pour your batter into the pan, and smooth the top.
- Bake this mixture for 30-35 minutes, use a toothpick to poke the sponge in the middle - if it comes out clean your cake is done.
- Let the cake cool outside the oven for 10 minutes to let it cool down.
