An airy, spongy, light as a feather cake that also tastes similar to the butter cake that you get at the bakeries.
So, every once in a while there has to be cake baking at home .
Now, Father loves vanilla and sister need chocolate . So , i came up with this trick to make both of them happy.
Basic vanilla cake and drizzling melted chocolate on top.
And it worked , the chocolate comes out really gooey and amazing.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 cups All purpose flour/ Maida
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda/ sodium bicarbonate
- 1/2 tin/ 200gm sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 100 ml milk
- 1 tsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract/ essence
- Small chunks of dark chocolate - 15-18 chunks(melted)
Method:
- Grease 9” round cake tin and preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, assemble the flour, baking powder and baking soda, mix with a spoon and sieve once to make the mixture uniform.
- In a bowl add milk and vinegar and keep aside 5 mins for it to curdle .
- In another mixing bowl assemble the butter and the condensed milk and beat (with a hand mixer or a wire whisk) until the mixture is combined, about a couple of minutes.
- Mix in the milk and vinegar kept aside along with vanilla essence and beat again.
- Stir in the flour mixture and mix with a spoon, and beat until the mixture is uniform and smooth and there are no lumps. This shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes with an electric hand mixer/beater. Be careful not to over beat as this tends to make the batter stiff which might result into a harder textured cake.
- Pour the batter into the cake tin and add the melted small chocolate chunks on top and make swirls using a toothpick.
- Bake for 35 mins at 180 degree, check once and if not done - bake for another 5-7 mins.
Happy baking.
