Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the oil (or melted butter), milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Prepare the Pan:
- Grease a round cake pan or deep skillet with oil or butter.
- Pour the batter into the pan and tap it gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Cook on the Stove:
- Place a large, heavy-bottomed pan or pot on the stove and preheat it on low heat for 5 minutes.
- Place the cake pan inside the pot and cover it with a tight-fitting lid.
- Cook on low heat for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Once done, carefully remove the cake pan from the pot and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Invert the cake onto a plate, slice, and serve as is, or with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, fruit, or frosting.
