AYen like a slice of homemade cake is good to end the fast or too fast or any other day. That’s why I wanted to teach you my trick for creating new cakes so that you too can create a cake for yourself and feel like a confectioner in the kitchen. Warning: there is a level of adventure here and it doesn’t always work out.
I have a basic recipe that I really like for a vanilla cake, I discovered a few years ago because my oldest doesn’t like chocolate cakes, which was a big surprise for me as a young mother. But since we discovered this vanilla cake we have been relaxed on birthdays. The trick to keeping the cake soft and fluffy is three tablespoons of vanilla pudding at once, and you can make the recipe without stopping.
Think of a flavor you like for the cake, for example: cinnamon, apples, berries, maple, nuts and many more, and you can change the cake as you like if you keep the proportions constant between the various milk ingredients with any liquid such as orange juice, you can replace half of the flour with almond flour or any other ground nut. You can replace half of the sugar with honey or maple syrup, and you can play with the toppings to your heart’s content. So in the coffee and nut cake I just added coffee miracle to the milk and nuts to the batter. I added spices and pears to the pear cake, and divided the batter for the marble-Nutella cake in half and added Nutella to the small part and pudding to the large part (to keep a texture balance). Another wonderful addition is: 200 grams of frozen berries, 3 apples cut into small cubes, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder and much more.
I am sure if you make these three cakes you will understand the formula and can go ahead and create your own cakes. Fast light and a good signature finish.
