The hint of tanginess coming out from buttermilk makes this more alluring to the tastebuds. The gorgeous texture and melt in mouth bite of this yummy cake is sure to rule your heart. Unlike plain vanilla cake it doesn't crumble and hold its shape.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 cup powdered Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 cup Oil
3 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla essence
1 cup Buttermilk (instant)
It's very easy to make buttermilk at home, all you need is 1 cup milk and 1 tbsp White Vinegar. Just pour vinegar in 1 cup milk and let it stand for 10-15 before use and its ready !!
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Prepare the baking pan by greasing with little butter and dusting. Keep aside.
Sift together flour,sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and set aside. Make a well in the center of dry ingredients, add beaten eggs, oil, vanilla essence and buttermilk. Beat this on medium speed for a minute. Pour this batter on prepared pan and smooth surface with a rubber spatula. Bake 30-35 minutes at 180 Degree Celcius for 35 minutes or until a long toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place the pan on a cooling wire rack.
Talk about a slice of heaven ...?
