TYPES OF DELICIOUS CAKES






Ingredients:

Maida Flour --- 200 gms
Butter --- 125 gms
Sugar --- 125 gms
Egg --- 3
Baking powder --- 3/4 pkt(10 gms)
Vanilla sugar --- 1 pkt(8 gms)
Milk(Warm) --- 3 table spoon( more if needed)
Salt --- pinch

Other Things needed:
Hand Mixer with turbo function
One Big Bowl
Cake Mould(Baking form any shape - circular,rectangle or heart)

Procedure:

  1. Keep the butter out of fridge atleast for 10 mins so that its soft.
  2. Break the eggs and pour only the white portion in the Big Bowl and add pinch of salt. Keep the yellow for later use.
  3. With the help of Hand Mixer, churn it well till it forms a foam or snow.(Keep the hand mixer in speed 3 and keep pressing the TURBO button for a gud foam.)
  4. Add the butter, egg yolk(yellow portion), sugar, vanilla sugar and blend well with the hand mixer in speed 3.
  5. On a paper take the flour, add baking powder and mix well with hand.
  6. Pour the well-mixed flour in the egg batter and blend it in speed 2.(Do not use the turbo button.)
  7. If the mixture is too thick, then add the warm milk and blend well in speed 2.
  8. Pre-heat the back-oven at 160 degrees for 5 mins.
  9. Take the Cake-form and apply Butter on all sides and bottom.
  10. Pour some maida on the cake form and try to spread it evenly by tilting it.
  11. Pour the prepared cake mixture and keep it in the Back-oven at 160 degrees for 45 - 60 mins.
  12. When u want to check if the cake is done, just insert a long knife into the cake so that it touches the bottom of the form. If the knife comes out clean without the mixture onto it, then the cake is done.
  13. Let the Cake cool down and then u can enjoy it..
if u wanna do ICING, then once the cake completely cools down u can do it.
Icing:

Icing Cream -- 30% fat --- 200 gm(has to b chill)
Cream thickening powder --- 1 pkt ( 8 gm)
Vanilla Sugar ---- 1/2 pkt( 4 gms)
Add the above in a bowl and beat it when the cream is chill, till it foams and forms strips and thickens, with the hand mixer in speed 2 or 3.
Once its smooth u can apply it on the cake and decorate it as u wish.
If u have the icing cone, then u can fill this cream into it and decorate the cake.

Vareities:
  1. Color Icing: Add any flavoured color (liquid or powder) to the cream when its beaten.

  2. Fruit Cake: Before pouring the mixture (step 11) , spread the fruit pieces ,either apple,strawberry,etc., sliced into very thin pieces, on the cake-form and then pour the cake mixture on top of it.

  3. Tutti-Frutti Cake: After we blend the cake mixture with milk,add the tutti-frutti pieces and mix well with one spoon so that the pieces r evenly distributed. then continue with step 11.

  4. Chocolate Cake: When making the cake mixture (step 6), add cocoa to it and blend.
