Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250 ml) Milk
- 3/4 cup (170 gm) Granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups (210 gm) Plain flour
- 1/2 cup (65 gm) Vanilla custard powder or cornstarch
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (100 gm) Butter
Instructions:
Prepare a 7-inch round cake tin by greasing it with oil or butter and lightly dusting it with plain flour. Alternatively, you can line the base with greaseproof paper after greasing.
Heat a cup of milk in a saucepan. Add sugar and stir until it completely dissolves. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the milk to cool to room temperature.
Once the milk has cooled, whisk in the vanilla custard powder or cornstarch and vanilla extract. Add in the butter and stir until it’s fully incorporated into the mixture.
Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (325 Fahrenheit).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk these dry ingredients together, then pour in the prepared milk mixture. Stir the ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If you have an electric hand mixer or beater, you can use it for this step.
Transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin. Bake the cake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely before icing. You can use vanilla icing or your favorite buttercream for the icing. If you’d like to serve the cake warm, you can skip the icing.
This Golden Delicacy, an unbeatable eggless golden yellow cake, is a true joy to bake and eat. Its delicate flavor, enhanced by the vanilla custard powder or cornstarch, and its moist, fluffy texture make it a favorite among adults and children alike.
