Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cream of Wheat
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of wheat, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and serve as is, or pair with syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for an extra touch.
