Ingredients
- 100 grams maida
- 100 grams butter at room temperature
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon milk optional
- ⅛ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Sieve maida and baking powder twice for even distribution. Set aside. To a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat the eggs until fluffy.
- Then add milk to eggs, then add this to the butter sugar mixture and mix well. Add vanilla essence, salt and give a quick stir. Then add maida baking powder mixture in batches.
- The batter should resemble like the one shown below(very creamy batter). Preheat the oven at 176 DEG C for 10 minutes. Meanwhile grease the pan with butter and sprinkle little maida over it. Then tap to remove the excess. Now pour the batter into the pan and bake the cake at 176 DEG C for 35-40 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- You can insert a tooth pick and check, if it comes out clean then your cake is ready. Keep aside for 10 minutes then invert. Cool down completely then cut into slices and enjoy.
Notes
- I read in an article that for easy un molding : Once the cake pan is taken from the oven, place the pan over a wet cloth for 10mins then invert , the cake comes out clean.
- I added milk just to make the batter little runny as mine was very thick. You can just skip it too. Adding salt always lifts up the sweetness more.
