Basic Plain Cake
Now friends, there can’t be a simpler cake than this and one can find all the ingredients in the remotest of the countryside. If one doesn’t have an oven, no sweat, you can make it on the gas stove. So here we go with a cake, I almost renamed as “I bet it will never fail anytime, anywhere Cake”.
Ingredients
1. 175 grams butter.
2. 175 grams sugar.
3. 175 grams flour.
4. 4 large eggs.
5. ¾ teaspoon baking powder.
6. Two tablespoons lemon juice.
Method
1. Preheat Oven to 180°C.
2. Sift flour and baking powder.
3. Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl till light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well.
5. Add the flour one tablespoon at a time while gently beating the mixture.
6. Add the lemon juice and mix it well.
7. Transfer to a 7 or 8 inches round baking dish or a 6x 8 inches baking dish.
8. Bake at 180° C for fifty minutes or if you want to give the gas stove a try, then take a big pot and place a perforated plate inside it. Now place the cake tin on the perforated plate and cover the pot with a lid. Kindly note, the lid should fit perfectly on top so as not to allow any air to pass through. Airtight seal is not required. Put the gas on low flame and cook for 40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean the cake is done. Leave the cake to cool in tin for 10 minutes prior to slicing it.

ReplyDeleteI would be posting a simple recipe for making doughnuts from scratch in just 25 minutes.This version is of deep fried ones which to my mind taste a lot better than the fermented and baked ones and are very easy and quick to make.But if you particularly want the ones which are soft and spongy like bread...i would love to add that too in my blog but that would take a little while.
