Ingredients:
- 150 g flour (not the kind you give on Valentine’s Day)
- 150 g butter (because everything’s better with butter)
- 150 g sugar (sweeten up your life)
- 3 eggs (the more, the merrier)
- A pinch of salt (just a pinch, not a punch)
- 5 g baking powder (for that extra lift)
Optional:
- Chocolate chips (because why not?)
- Raisins (if you want to be a little fancy)
Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 160Β°C (or 320Β°F for our friends across the pond).
- Melt the butter in a pan or microwave (just don’t forget about it in there).
- Combine the butter and sugar and mix until creamy (think fluffy clouds).
- Add the eggs one at a time until combined (like a well-behaved choir).
- Add the salt (just a pinch, remember?).
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix until combined (no lumps allowed).
- Optional: Add chocolate chips or raisins after the flour (go wild!).
- Put the batter into a cake mold (make sure it’s greased or lined).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean).
Fluffy Cake Tip:
For an extra fluffy cake, split the eggs. Mix the egg whites with half of the sugar and whip until you can hold the bowl upside down over your head without it falling out (trust me, it’s worth the risk!). After combining the flour, gently fold in the whipped egg whites to add extra air into the mixture. Your cake will be as light as a cloud! βοΈ
And there you have it! A delicious cake that’s perfect for any occasion. π
Final Tip:
Remember, the best part about baking a cake is eating it. Just make sure you save some for the kids! π
