How to Bake a Cake

Do you want to know how to bake a cake? You might have gone bored eating the same sweet every day such as cookies or cupcakes, right? So why not try to bake something different today! Below I have written some directions about how to bake a cake. So better not waste time and let’s get started.

To bake a cake you need half a teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of butter (room temperature), 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 2 cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence, 3 cups of flour, 4 eggs, and last but not the least materials for frosting (optional).

First, use the electric mixer to shred butter for a minute or two. This will smoothen your butter. I would prefer you guys use unsalted better because it is kind of better!

Next, after the butter is smoothen, slowly add sugar while the mixer is on. Do this step slowly otherwise you might get messed up! It’s up to you how much sweet you want the cake to be so you can put the amount of sugar you want. Mix sugar and butter until it gets nice and fluffy!

Then, add two teaspoons of vanilla essence. I would prefer vanilla extract rather than using the artificial vanilla flavoring!

Next, add eggs and mix them with the batter. You have to add eggs one at a time. Be careful with this step because you don’t want your eggs to be spreading all over the kitchen and having the kitchen smell like eggs.

Then, take a separate bowl and mix 3 cups of flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a half teaspoon of salt. If you use salted butter then do not put salt. Mix these dry ingredients properly.

Next, add flour to the batter in three stages, while mixing them together.

After mixing the batter pour it into your greased baking pan and put it in the preheated oven at 200 degrees C for about 25 to 35 minutes.

Finally, you can decorate your cake with the frosting if you can make one following my recipe that I’ll explain may be some other time. And enjoy eating your delicious cake!
