Servings10 cakes
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups maida / all purpose flour ~200 gms
- 3/4 cup vanilla flavoured custard powder or cornflour ~100 gms
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar ~165 gms
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract only if you are using cornflour else skip it
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 and 1/2 cups milk ~375 ml
Instructions
- First add milk in a bowl add butter mix well.
- Next add vanilla essence and mix again with a whisk.
- Then add the sugar, mix till it completely dissolves. Alternatively you can powder the sugar and then add so that it dissolves quickly.
- Sieve maida, custard powder and baking powder then add them to the milk butter mixture. Sieving is always done to avoid any dust particles and also to ensure even spread of the baking powder.
- Mix until a creamy batter is formed. Then grease a baking pan (I used a 4X4 inch cake pan) with a butter paper and pour the batter into it.
- Preheat the oven to 180 deg C for 10mins and bake the cake for 35-40mins. Test by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the cake before you switch off.
- Cool it completely for at least 20mins then cut into pieces. Enjoy Custard Cake!
Notes
- As I wanted a low fat version I used demerara sugar so my cake was a little brown in color. You can use normal sugar too.
- I have reduced the butter totally and added more milk instead. The result was a very soft tasty cake.
- As the name says snack cake, the sweetness is slightly lower than the usual cakes. So you can increase the sugar to 1 cup if you prefer a sweeter cake.
- The top and bottom slightly browns up giving it a golden yellow in the middle.
