Plain Cake

I wanted to bake a special cake for Kyra’s 7-month birthday but I landed up making a plain cake. I was glad that it came out very well. So here goes that recipe.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour – 1 cup
White butter/ unsalted butter – 1 cup (melted butter)
Sugar (powdered) – 1 Cup
3 eggs
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Cooking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence - 1 tspChopped Cashewnuts (Optional)

Procedure:

Grease and flour a cake pans.

In a bowl, sieve together flour and baking soda; set aside. Using a mixer, blend eggs till fluffy. Add butter and sugar to the bowl and mix till light and frothy. Mix in vanilla essence. Add flour mixture, mix until combined. Stir in nuts. Pour into greased cake pan.

Bake for 45 minutes at 200 Deg C. Or Bake for few more minutes and check by inserting a skewer / knife in the center of the cake, which should come out clean. Let it cool on the oven rack for 10 more minutes.

Note: I cover the pan with a lid (as I love the golden brown color of the cake) after 30 minutes to avoid burning and then bake for another 15 minutes.
