Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (60g) custard powder
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (80g) tutti frutti (optional)
- 7 tablespoon (100g) unsalted butter melted
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoon (210 ml) milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan well with oil or butter and set it aside.
- Add all-purpose flour, custard powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl, and whisk until well combined. Add tutti frutti, if you like, to the flour mixture, and mix well.
- Mix melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
- Now add the dry ingredients and milk alternatively into the wet ingredients in two parts. Mix until everything is just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes or until a cake skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool down completely in the pan before removing and slicing it.
Storing Suggestions
- Store the Custard Powder Cake at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerate for up to 7 days.
- Warm the refrigerated cake slightly before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- Measuring: Measure the ingredients accurately. Use a kitchen scale for the best results. Too much flour can make the cake dense.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature ingredients helps the batter mix evenly and improves texture.
- Tutti Frutti: Mixing the candied fruits with flour prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
- Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix only until combined.
- Baking: Every oven is different. Star checking the doneness at the 35-minute mark.
- Cooling: Let the cake cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
