Ingredients

Plain flour (Maida) – 1 cup

Sugar (powdered) -1 cup

Eggs – 3 pieces

Oil – ½ cup

Baking powder – 1 ½ teaspoon

Baking soda (Soda bicarbonate) – ½ teaspoon

Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon

Salt a pinch

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 C.

Mix all the dry ingredients (plain flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt) together and sieve it.

Beat eggs and powdered sugar together. Add vanilla essence to it and mix. Air bubbles will form in this mixture.

Now mix the dry ingredients in this mixture of egg and sugar. Just fold it nicely so there is no lumps in the batter, don’t over beat it.

Grease the mould with oil and then dust it with little plain flour.

Pour this batter into the mould. Place the mould in oven and bake for 25 minutes at 180-200 C.

P.S.- Don’t over beat the batter. We want the air bubbles to be in the batter so that the cake will be spongy. Over beating will allow the air bubbles to escape.
