So when her cute little daughter told me that her mom's birthday is coming soon, I started thinking of ideas to show my appreciation towards her. There is nothing better than making a cake for a birthday. Chocolate cake has become too common (no brainer!) and so I surfed my favorite sites for that perfect cake.
Anushruti of divinetaste,has some amazing eggless cake recipes. This is one of her b'day cakes.
I'm happy that my friend liked the cake so much, that she asked for the recipe.
This is for you Dee, Happy Birthday!!
GOLDEN YELLOW CAKE (adapted from the recipe here)
Ingredients
1. All purpose Flour (maida) - 2 cups
2. Granulated Sugar- 1 & 1/4 cups
3. Vanilla custard powder-1/2 cup
4. Milk-1 cup+ 1 Tbsp (if required)
5. Baking powder-2tsp
6. Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
7. Vanilla extract- 1tsp
8. Butter- 100gm (1/2 cup)
Method
1. Prepare a round cake pan by greasing and then dusting it lightly with flour.
2. Tap to remove excess flour from the pan.
3. Heat milk in a pan. Stir in the sugar and after it melts completely, set it aside to cool at room temperature.
4. After the milk reaches room temperature, pour it into a large mixing bowl, add custard powder and vanilla extract and mix well with a whisk. Put in the butter and mix again.
5. Heat the oven to 160⁰C or 325⁰F.
6. In a bowl, sieve the flour , baking powder, baking soda together for proper mixing. Alternatively you can put them together and mix well with a fork.
7. Add this flour mixture to the custard mixture and mix well so that no lumps remain. You can use a hand blender also. Add the flour mixture periodically. It'll make it easy to mix in the batter.
8. Put the prepared batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 55-60 min. or till a skewer comes out clean. I usually use toothpicks to check.
Perfect to bring smile on the face of your loved ones.
