Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Your Ingredients

Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) to ensure it’s ready for your cake.

Step 2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Use a whisk to blend these dry ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until they are well combined and the mixture is frothy. Then, add the softened butter and continue mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to overmix. If you want to create a chocolate cake, you can add the cocoa powder at this stage.

Step 5

Bake the Cake

Grease your cake pan and pour the batter into it. Place the pan in your preheated oven. Bake the cake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool and Prepare for Decoration

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. It’s important that your cake is completely cool before adding any decorations.

Step 7

Decide on Your Flavor Variants

Feel free to get creative with your cake! You can add fruit puree or additional flavors to customize it to your liking. Experiment with frosting options or fillings as well.

Step 8

Store and Sell Your Cake Boxes

Once decorated, package your cakes neatly for sale. Use your skills to market your cake box as a trendy and in-demand product for special occasions, ensuring you always have popular desserts available.

Faq

  • What if my cake doesn't rise properly?

    Make sure your baking powder is fresh and your oven is at the correct temperature. Over-mixing can also lead to dense cakes.
