A fluffy and versatile cake can be the perfect base for numerous dessert masterpieces. Whether you’re planning to layer it with jam, cream, or any other decadent filling, this cake recipe is your go-to. Easy to prepare and incredibly soft, it’s the perfect canvas for your dessert creations.
Ingredients:
- 210g of flour
- 3 eggs
- 240g of sugar
- 125ml of milk
- 100ml of oil
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 8g of baking powder
Instructions:
- Begin by placing the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk them at medium speed for a few minutes to incorporate air. This step ensures that the eggs are properly aerated. Afterward, gradually add the sugar while continuing to whisk. The goal is to achieve a lighter, airier, and shinier texture.
- Slowly pour in the oil, whisking continuously for about a minute, ensuring it’s well combined with the mixture. Following this, introduce the milk and keep whisking at a low speed. Add the vanilla extract and whisk slightly to ensure even distribution.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl. This not only aerates the dry ingredients but also prevents any lumps from forming. Stir the mixture at the lowest mixer speed just until the flour is combined. Overmixing can deflate the batter, so ensure you stir just enough to integrate the flour.
- Prepare a baking tin by placing baking parchment at the base and lightly greasing the sides with butter. Pour the batter into the tin and spread it out evenly. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake the cake at the same temperature for about 45 minutes.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the tin for approximately 10 minutes. Then, gently remove it from the tin and place it on a cooling rack. Wait until it’s completely cooled before slicing and adding your desired fillings.
This fluffy cake provides an adaptable base for various recipes. Its soft texture and mild flavor make it ideal for absorbing syrups or pairing with both light and rich fillings. Enjoy crafting your dessert masterpiece with this versatile cake!
