Beat ‘n Bake Cake
Published in Cakes
As simple as it comes.
Ingredients:
- 150 g margarine
- 250 g sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 290 g flour
- 10 – 15 ml baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 50 ml water
- 100 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Preparation:
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Combine together the water, milk and vanilla.
- Place ingredients in bowl in the order listed. Beat at low – medium speed for 2 – 3 minutes.
- Bake in shapes as desired. In loaf tin at 180° C for about 30 – 35 minutes; in layer tins at 190° C for about 20 minutes.
Notes:
- For an alternate flavouring, the grated rind and juice of ½ – 1 lemon is especially good.
- Use the lesser amount of baking powder at first. Only increase for later bakings if you find that the cake hasn’t risen to expectations. I find that the lesser amount is adequate, but the original recipe called for the larger amount.
Makes a small – medium cake.
