This quick and easy cake is soft, fluffy, and utterly delicious. Perfect for when you need a dessert in no time. The best part? It’s made with simple ingredients you probably already have at home


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prep Your Tools:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease and line a small round or loaf baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients:

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients.
  2. Gently fold everything together until you have a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and airy.

4. Bake:

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level it out with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Serve:

  1. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate, or enjoy as is!

Tips for a Perfect Cake:

  • Flavors: Add lemon zest, cocoa powder, or a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Add-ins: Mix in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits for some texture.
  • Microwave Option: If you’re really short on time, pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes for an instant mug cake!

This melt-in-your-mouth cake is perfect for last-minute guests, quick family treats, or when you just need a little sweetness in your day. Enjoy every bite! 😋💖
