INGREDIENTS

Makes a 1.5 kg cake

Preparation Time - 20 minutes

Baking time - 45 to 60 minutes (depends on the size of you pans)

PREPARATION METHOD

Baking the cake

Preheat an oven to 160 degree Celsius for 10 minutes. Grease a pan (10 inch or 8 inch pan) with butter on the inside and line with butter paper or parchment paper (i.e. place a piece of butter at the pan's bottom)

To a pan add milk and butter and place on flame, wait until butter melts set this aside until it cools down. Then add oil and mix well. (You can skip addition of oil, but it makes the cake moist)

Sieve or mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and set aside. (you can add a small pinch of salt it will enhance the sweetness)

Break open eggs and beat really well in a bowl until light fluffy and pale. Incorporating more air will give you the spongy and airy texture, so beat well.

Then add in vanilla or rose essence and beat the eggs for a minute more and set aside.

Now add the flour mix to the beaten eggs little by little and fold in or stir with a whisk or spatula, if you dump it all at the same time it will form lumps. Be careful not to over stir.

Then add the 'milk+butter+oil' mixture and stir gently.

Now pour the batter into the greased &lined cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes. (After 40 minutes insert a wet knife or a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean it means your cake is done. If not bake for a few more minutes)

Remove the pan from oven and set aside until the cools down to a bearable temperature. Then slide a knife around the cake and invert the pan slowly and cautiously to remove the cake. Place on a wire rack and let the cake cool down well before frosting.

Frosting the cake with buttercream

Take room temperature butter and beat well until it turns a little fluffy. Add icing sugar little by little and continue beating until you get thick buttercream that has piping consistency. Sometimes just 300 grams icing sugar will be enough, and sometimes you will need even more. See that your butter has not softened too much, it should not be cold but has to be soft at the same time. If your butter is too soft you will have to add too much of icing sugar. Add rose essence and colors and beat again until well incorporated. Put them into piping bags fitted with nozzle. Frost and pipe designs as you wish.

TIP 1: Adding oil makes the cake moist and keeps it soft and moist for long, but you can skip oil and use butter alone.

TIP 2: Reduce sugar to 250 grams if you do not want the cake to be very sweet.

TIP 3: You can also make it more airy and fluffier by beating egg whites separately until it multiplies in quantity and forms stiff peaks and add it to the batter finally. But while adding be very cautious not to pop all the air bubbles that you have got on beating the egg whites.

TIP 4: While adding four to the beaten egg mixture be careful not to over mix as it will not let the cake rise well.

TIP 5: Use any of the following essence to make a basic sponge cake; Vanilla essence, pineapple essence or rose essence. In most bakeries of South India Pineapple essence is most commonly used and rose essence is the next frequently used flavoring in most sponge cakes and bakes.
