  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour With 2 tbsp of it replaced with equal amount of Cornflour
  • 1/3 cup Refined Oil
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp  Baking Powder
  • ¼ cup Milk

Instructions

  • Take a bowl and mix all the dry ingredients together. Sieve them through and keep them aside.
    1 cup All Purpose Flour, 1 tsp  Baking Powder
  • Now, in another bowl, whisk the eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt till light and almost 3 times in its volume.
    2 Eggs, 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • Add oil and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk them vigorously till light and airy.
    1/3 cup Refined Oil, 1 tsp  Vanilla Extract
  • Now, add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk and mix gently. Once you see that the dry ingredients have incorporated nicely, stop mixing.
    ¼ cup Milk
  • Now, pour the batter in a slightly oiled and floured cake tin and bake it at 180c for 30-40 minutes. Once you see that the cake has baked and the sides are pulling back from the edges, you know that it is done.
  • Take it out and allow it to cool in the cake tin for 10 minutes before turning it upside down on wire rack to cool down completely.
  • Serve this cake as it is or drizzle it with a glaze. Or, if you are feeling fancy then you can frost it with whipped cream or cream-cheese frosting.
