I baked a cake
The weekend was too cold for me to go out the garden. Hmm, that is my excuse. So your truly was in the house hatching eggs and sudddenly decided to bake a cake. Yes, bake a cake for tonight desert.
I did a quick stock take and we have sugar, flour, eggs but not enough butter. So we took a drive out to the shop and instead of buying just butter, I got to "belanja" me wife coffee at her favourite coffee shop.
We went to Coles to get butter and I decided the cake was too plain and bought blue berries to spices the cake up.
Mix 250 gm butter (make sure butter is softened) with
230 gm castor sugar till fluffy (I used 200gm only)
Dump in four eggs (i used 5 eggs), adding one by one, preferably
Dump in 250 gm of self raising flour.
Add in blue berries (optional, this is my addition tp spice up the cake)
Flavour with half a teaspoon of vanilla (add some milk if the mixture is sticky and sticks to the spoon. The mixture must be smooth. If you can draw an eight clearly as the mixture drip from the spoon, the the mixture is right)
Heat oven to 180deg celcius and line the cake tin.
Remember to make sure that the cake batter is only half the level of the height of the tin.
Bake for about 45 minutes. Viola.
As soon the cake was out of the oven, 10 hungry people finished it before I remembered to grab a picture of the finish cake.
Is this considered cooking? *wink,* wink*
