Cake – 5 minutes, melts in your mouth at the first bite, Simple to make

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cake:

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

(Optional Additions: ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder for a chocolate version, or lemon zest for a fresh citrus touch.)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Whisk the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the milk, oil (or butter), and vanilla extract, and mix well.

(Pro Tip: Whisking the eggs and sugar well makes the cake extra soft and airy!)

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

  1. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula.

(Be careful not to overmix! This keeps the cake light and fluffy.)

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  1. Grease a small cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  3. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

(If you’re in a hurry, try microwaving the batter in a microwave-safe mug for 90 seconds!)
