Servings10 cakes
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups maida
- 3/4 cup vanilla flavoured custard powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup demerara sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 and 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- First add milk in a bowl add butter mix well. Next add vanilla essence and mix again with a whisk.
- Then add the sugar, mix till it completely dissolves. Alternatively you can powder the sugar and then add so that it dissolves quickly. Sieve maida, custard powder and baking powder then add them to the milk butter mixture. Sieving is always done to ensure even spread of the baking powder.
- Mix until a creamy batter shown below is formed. Then grease a baking pan(I used a 4X4 inch cake pan) with a butter paper and pour the batter into it. Preheat the oven to 180 DEG C for 10 minutes and bake the cake for 35-40 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick in the middle of the cake before you switch off.
- Cool it completely for at least 20mins then cut into pieces. I halved the original recipe and choose a smaller pan accordingly.
Notes
- As I wanted a low fat version I used demerara sugar so my cake was a little brown in color. You can use normal white sugar too.
- Since my cake was small, my cake was done in 40 minutes. But the original recipes says it might take 45 minutes and might extend up to an hour depending on the oven type and cake mold you use.
- I have reduced butter totally and added more milk instead. The result was a very soft tasty cake.
- As the name says snack cake, the sweetness is slightly lower than the usual cakes. So you can increase the sugar to 1 cup if you prefer a sweeter cake.
- The top and bottom slightly browns up giving it a golden yellow in the middle.
