  • Quick and Delicious Cake for Tea

    Quick and Delicious Cake for Tea

    Quick and Delicious Cake for Tea

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • 3 eggs: Eggs are the base of this cake, providing structure and helping to bind the ingredients together. They also add richness and moisture.
      • 1 glass (200 ml) sugar: Sugar not only sweetens the cake but also helps to achieve a light, tender crumb.
      • 1 glass (200 ml) milk: Milk adds moisture to the cake and helps to create a smooth batter. You can use any type of milk, including whole, skim, or a non-dairy alternative.
      • 100 ml vegetable oil: Oil keeps the cake moist and adds a tender texture. It also helps to mix the batter smoothly.
      • 350 grams flour: Flour is the main dry ingredient that gives the cake structure. For a lighter texture, sift the flour before measuring.
      • 10 grams baking powder: Baking powder is the leavening agent that helps the cake rise and become fluffy.
      • 1 gram vanillin: Vanillin adds a subtle vanilla flavor to enhance the overall taste of the cake.
      • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (+ 2 tablespoons of water): Cocoa powder gives the cake a rich chocolate flavor. Mixing it with water creates a chocolate paste that blends seamlessly into the batter.
    • Butter for greasing the mold: Butter prevents the cake from sticking to the pan, ensuring it comes out clean and intact.

    Instructions:

      1. Preheat the Oven:
        • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures the oven is at the right temperature when the cake goes in, allowing for even baking.
    1. Prepare the Batter:
        • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and frothy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, which helps the cake rise.
        • Add the milk and vegetable oil to the egg mixture, and whisk until well combined.
        • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and vanillin. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

       

      • In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder with 2 tablespoons of water to form a smooth paste. Gently fold the cocoa paste into a portion of the batter to create a marbled effect. If you prefer a fully chocolate cake, mix the cocoa paste into the entire batter.
    2. Prepare the Baking Pan:
        • Grease your baking pan with butter to ensure the cake doesn’t stick. You can use any pan size you have on hand; just adjust the baking time as needed. For a thicker cake, use a smaller pan, and for a thinner cake, use a larger pan.

       

    3. Pour and Bake:
        • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
        • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary based on your oven and pan size, so keep an eye on the cake.

       

    4. Cool and Serve:
        • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
        • Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or frost it if desired, though it’s delicious on its own.

       

    Tips for Success:

      • Mix Gently: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
      • Check for Doneness: Since oven temperatures can vary, start checking the cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time. The cake should be golden brown and a toothpick should come out clean.
    • Customize the Flavor: Feel free to add extras like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to the batter for a personalized touch.
    • Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to a month; just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.

    Fluffy Soufflé Pancakes Recipe

    Fluffy Soufflé Pancakes Recipe

    Ingredients:

    • 2 eggs, separated
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 3 tablespoons milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • Pinch of salt
    • Butter or oil for greasing the pan
    • Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream

    Whisk the Egg Whites

    In a clean, dry bowl, crack open those eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. We’re going to whip those egg whites into fluffy peaks, so grab your whisk (or electric mixer if you’re feeling fancy) and start whisking. Whip until you reach stiff peaks – you want them to hold their shape like a proud mountain peak!

    Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This ensures a smooth, lump-free batter. Now, add in your milk, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Give it a good mix until everything is nicely combined and smiling at you.

    Fold, Fold, Fold

    Gently fold those whipped egg whites into your batter. This is where the magic happens. Fold with love and care, making sure not to deflate those beautiful airy bubbles. It’s like you’re gently tucking them into a fluffy pancake bed.

    Cook ‘Em Up

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease it with a bit of butter or oil. Now, using a spoon or ladle, scoop out a dollop of pancake batter onto the skillet. Don’t overcrowd the pan; give those pancakes some room to grow and dance.

     Patience, Grasshopper

    Now comes the hard part – waiting! Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on one side until they’re golden brown and those signature soufflé pancake bubbles start to form on the surface. Then, gently flip them over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they’re cooked through and fluffy.

     Indulge and Enjoy!
