Instructions
Firstly, sieve all-purpose flour and baking powder and keep it aside.
In a dry mixer grinder, grind granulated sugar to a fine powder. Finely powdered sugar helps to cream well easily with butter.
In the same mixer grinder, beat egg until frothy.
In a dry wide bowl, add room temperature butter and powdered sugar and cream well until it is well combined.
After creaming well, add sifted all-purpose flour and baking powder and gently mix it with your gentle hands.
Now add beaten eggs to the flour mixture and mix gently.
Add few drops of vanilla extract to the cake batter. Meanwhile preheat oven to 18o*C .
Grease 7″ inch round baking pan and dust with all-purpose flour well. Transfer the cake batter into the baking pan and tap gently on to kitchen counter to remove any large air pockets that may cause uneven texture. As the cake batter was more, I requested her to change to a 9″ inch pan. She refused and, all she wanted to bake in her old pan and allowed to use paper cups and silicone mould. Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or inserted skewer comes out clean.
After baking, let it cool completely. Demould gently and slice according to desired shape and size.
Serve cake with a hot cup of coffee or milk. It can be served for morning breakfast and can pack for a kid’s snack box too.
Notes
All the ingredients should be at room temperature.Measure granulated sugar and then powder in a mixer grinder.For this measurement use a 9 inch round pan.Do not open the oven door during the first 20 minutes ,the temperature falls suddenly and cake will not rise properly and may collapse in the centre.Every oven behaves differently so adjust the temperature accordingly.
