🍰 Made with everyday ingredients, this is the kind of cake you can make whenever you're craving something homemade. There's no frosting, no complicated decorating and no special technique required.

Equipment

Measuring cup size: 240ml

Baking pan: 21 × 11 × 6 cm loaf pan

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (350°F) for approximately 40–45 minutes.

Method

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for about 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes pale, light and fluffy.

Pour in the vegetable oil and whisk for another 1 minute until well combined.

You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter if preferred.

Sift the plain flour, baking powder and baking soda directly into the bowl.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until almost combined.

Pour in the milk and continue mixing gently until the batter is smooth and evenly combined. Avoid overmixing.

Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (350°F) for approximately 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.

Serve warm or allow it to cool completely before slicing.

Enjoy! 🍰
