Vanilla Cake

This is a simple cake with the basic vanilla flavour. It has a very soft texture and surely a melt in mouth cake. This is the base for many birthday cakes or wedding cakes. It has a golden yellow colour and is enjoyed by all age groups.

Notes:

1. If you don't like the eggy taste in the cake, add only 1 egg to this recipe.
2. It is better to use an electric hand beater or an electric stand mixer. If you don't have any of them, you can use a wooden spoon.
3. If you see that the edges of the cake is slightly pulled out off the baking tray and if the cake slightly springs back when you touch the cake lightly in the centre - these all are the indications that the cake is perfectly baked.
