Ingredients
| Type | Ingredient | Purpose & Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dry | 3 cups all-purpose flour | Sift to remove lumps; forms the cake’s base structure |
| 2 cups sugar | Sweetens the cake and promotes a golden crust | |
| 1 tbsp baking powder | Helps the cake rise and stay airy | |
| A pinch of salt | Balances flavor and enhances sweetness | |
| Wet | 3 eggs | Adds moisture and binds everything together |
| 1 cup milk | Makes the batter smooth and light | |
| 1 cup vegetable oil | Provides richness while keeping the texture soft |
Step-by-Step Directions
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease and flour your baking pan so the cake releases easily after baking. - Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, and milk. Blend until smooth and well mixed. - Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour and salt to the blender. Blend again until you get a smooth, uniform batter with no lumps. - Add the Baking Powder
Sprinkle in the baking powder and pulse the blender just for a few seconds—don’t overmix, to keep the texture light and fluffy. - Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Enjoy
Let the cake rest in the pan for a few minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and savor your soft, airy homemade cake!
