Simple Recipe of Cake for Beginners at Home

Here it would be prudent to mention that in the correct recipe of making cake, the weight of the required quantity of egg should be same as the weight of sugar, butter, and flour (each measured separately, should be of the same weight). To get the correct taste of cake it is very important to mix all the ingredients of the cake in the correct proportion and correct weight.

How to Make a Cake at Home – The Procedure of Making Cake for Beginners

Here we are going to describe in detail, the steps of the recipe of cake easy to make at home by beginners without any previous experience. For them, the steps have been kept intentionally simple, without any complications.

• In a deep vessel, the egg mentioned previously is taken and beaten by a beater or mixer. Once it becomes smooth and fluffy, it is kept aside.

• Now the butter and sugar are beaten together thoroughly till it becomes a smooth paste. The eggs are now mixed with it and beaten again for at least 10 minutes till it becomes a smooth paste. Then it is kept aside.

• Now the baking powder is mixed with flour (and sieve it), taking care to ensure that they should mix nicely with each other. Next, this mixture is mixed with the previous egg mixture and beaten constantly. The milk mentioned previously is added to this mixture and beaten nicely. Here it would be important to mention that the whole milk should not be added to the previously mentioned mixture at one go but should be added in small increments, as the beating is continued. This ensures the formation of a smooth light paste. Vanilla essence & raisins are now added & mixed nicely to the mixture.

• Here we should again mention that softness of the cake depends on proper beatings and correct weight of the ingredients.

• As this is procedure describes the recipe of cake in cooker, so a metallic small stand is placed in the bottom of the cooker. This is done with the purpose so that the cake container is placed on this stand in the cooker and is not in direct contact with the cooker’s body. In case a stand is not available then a marble stone chip can be used at its place, so direct heat from cooker does not reach the container used for preparing the cake.

• In the meantime, a butter paper is placed on the cake container. If butter paper is not available, then a little butter or oil is spread on the container, thus greasing the container. Next, some flour is sprinkled over the greased portion of the container, and then the container is inverted so that the extra flour falls off. All this is done so that the cake after being finally prepared can be easily brought out/separated from the container in which it was made.

• Now this empty cake container (in which later the dough mixture would be put), is placed on a little stand put inside the cooker body. The whistle and gasket of the cooker have been removed previously and the lid of the cooker is closed tightly and put on a low flamed burner and it is allowed to get warm adequately.

• Once the cooker body gets hot then the lid is opened and the previously prepared mixture for cake preparation is transferred into the cake container. The lid of the cooker is closed and the contents allowed to cook for 40 minutes.

• Later the lid of the cooker is removed. The border areas of the cake prepared are examined to check if it has got detached or separated from the body of the cake container (which indicates that the cooking is complete). Another technique to assess the completion of the preparative process is to insert a long needle into the body of the cake & take it out slowly. If the needle comes out dry with no material sticking to its surface that means the cake is ready. If the needle comes out with sticky cooking material adhering to it that means, the cake is not yet ready.

• In case the cake is not yet completely ready then the cake containing container is replaced back into the cooker and the lid closed. The baking of the cake is continued for another 5 to 10 minutes. Later the cake container is taken out of the cooker. Afterward, the cake is once again checked for completeness of the cooking process as mentioned previously. It should be ready by now. The container is taken out from the cooker and the contents (including the cake) is allowed to cool in normal room temperature.

• Once done, a plate is placed on the cake container and the container is inverted (it is made upside-down). The cake should easily come out from the cake container and would be replaced on the plate. The prepared cake is now cut to size, depending on the desired size. Your cake is now ready for consumption. We hope that this recipe of cake easy to prepare at home will help all those who wanted to make a cake of their own but did not know how to do it.
