VANILLA CAKE

Vanilla cake

Ingredients

• All Purpose Flour-2 ½ Cup
• Sugar-1 ½ Cups
• Egg-5, Separated (Room Temperature)
• Unsalted Butter- 200 G
• Salt-1/2 Teaspoon
• Baking Powder-1 ½ Tablespoon
• Vanilla Essence-1 Tablespoon
• Milk-2 Tablespoon (If Needed)

Method

STEP-1

Preheat oven into 180 degrees.

STEP-2

Grease the baking tray with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

STEP-3

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl until well combined.

STEP-4

Beat butter and the sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

STEP-5

Reduce the beater speed to medium; beat in the egg yolks, one at a time.

STEP-6

In a separate mixing bowl, fitted with the whisk attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Set aside.

STEP-7

Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the egg whites, until just smooth.

STEP-8

Beat in the vanilla essence. Add 2 tablespoon of milk if the batter is too thick and milk.

STEP-9

Pour the batter into prepared baking pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

STEP-10

Cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. To remove the cake from the pan, run a spatula around the inside of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert onto a wire rack/plate.

Decorate with your choice.
