Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Custard powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 50 milliliters Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F) and grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, custard powder, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour, custard powder, and baking powder) in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top with powdered sugar or frost it as desired. Slice and serve!
