- Maida/All purpose flour - 1 cup
- Powdered sugar - 1 cup
- Fresh curd - 1/2 cup
- Butter/oil - 1/3 cup
- Milk - 1/4 cup
- Baking powder - 1 tsp
- Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
- Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
- Coco powder - 2 tbsp
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 °c or 350°F for 20 minutes.
- In a plate, sieve dry ingredients like all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda , coco powder and keep it aside.
- In a bowl add curd & whisk till it becomes creamy, add butter/oil and whisk for a minute then add sugar powder, vanilla essence and once again whisk till sugar completely got mixed in it.
- Grease cake tin with oil, all purpose flour and keep it aside i.e; coat cake tin with few drops of oil using a brush or fingers, then hold the tin with your hands and shake it slowly inorder to spread the flour all over the tin and then remove the extra flour from the tin. By doing this we can prevent cake from sticking to bottom and comes out easily.
- To the above mixture, add sieved dry ingredients and mix well in only one direction. I have sieved directly in to my mixture bowl as it has wide opening. Do not mix too long once baking soda is added.
- Add milk little by little and mix till you get desired i.e; pouring consistency.
- Pour the batter in to the tin, slightly tap the tin on the floor to clear air bubbles if any. Put it in a pre heated oven for 30 minutes.
- Carefully take out the cake tin from oven (don’t forget to wear gloves), insert a toothpick in to the center of the cake and take out, if there is still some batter sticking on the toothpick then bake it again for 5 more minutes. If the toothpick comes out clean it means your cake is done.
- Let it cool for a minute. Then take a knife, run it around the edges of the cake, turn the cake tin up side down and slightly tap on the cake tin. The cake will comes out perfectly. Allow the cake to cool completely before icing or serving it. You can keep in the refrigerator also.
- Normally we prefer to have plain cake, but this time I tried icing for my son's birthday. I used pillsbury icing in Aqua color. I made chocolate butter cream by mixing 1 cup butter with 2 cups of powdered sugar & 1 tbsp of coco powder. It turned out very well. you can use food colours instead of coco powder to make it more colorful.
Note:
- Keep the batter in the oven as soon as possible after adding baking soda in it.
- If you double the quantity then baking time should also be more like 40 - 45 minutes.
- If using same batter for making cup cakes then baking time should be aroung 15 - 20 minutes.
- Temperature settings may vary from oven to oven, so check the baking time accordingly.
