Sponge
Dry Ingredients
All purpose flou 3/4 cup
salt -2 pinches-
Wet Ingredients
Water 1/2 cup
Oil 3 tbsp
Method:
Use standard baking measuring cups to measure everything.
(1 cup = 240 ml)
If using regular sugar, first measure it and then powder.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add the water, vinegar, vanilla essence and oil.
Mix the batter till it becomes smooth.
Immediately pour in a baking tin lined with parchment paper or greased
and dusted with flour.
The oven must be pre heated for about 10 mins at 180°C.
Bake the cake in the middle rack for about 35 mins. Can take longer or
lesser based on your oven size and settings. To check the doneness,
insert the toothpick in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, the
cake is ready.
If baking the cake in a cooker or a kadhai, add 1 cup salt at bottom. Place
a 2 inch stand inside and preheat on medium flame for 10 mins and then
place the cake tin.
Cover it and cook on high for 10 mins and then sim flame for 30 mins.
Do not open the oven or kadhai when the cake is baking.
Remove the cake from the oven/ kadhai & brush it with milk (this will
soften the crumb). Leave it open for about 5 minutes
Gently run a knife around the edges and flip the cake onto a wire rack.
Cool the cake covered with a muslin cloth on a wirerack. This will prevent
soggy bottoms.
