Earlier in the day, I decided to create some memories with my family by making our Sunday afternoon a memorable one. I decided to make some cake for my family and I, so that we would have something to snack on later in the day. I had most of the ingredients in the house with the exception of eggs and butter that I had to just buy at the corner shop near my house.

Some point to note is that I used an all-purpose flour for the cake and not a self rising flour. This majorly to ensure that I have control over the ingredients that I'm using as self rising flours usually have baking powder and other ingredients already. Also, I tried out the style of melting the butter before mixing with the sugar and I almost ruined it because the butter was over melted. Luckily, I was able to save the day by thinking out of the box to place the butter in the freezer for about 5 minutes to solidify.

Ingredients Needed

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 cup of sugar

  • 1 teaspoon of nutmeg

Step by Step

  • First and foremost, we will prep all the ingredients that we will be using by arranging them on a table to ensure that we don't miss any ingredient during the mixing process. It can be easy to skip an ingredient if you don't take time to carefully arrange them.

  • Next, we will add the butter to a mixing bowl and mix with the sugar. However, I melted my butter in a hot pan first before adding into the mixing bowl. But in the process of mixing I realized that I have overmelted the butter so I had to put into the freezer for it to solidify.

  • So, I continued mixing the butter and sugar together using a spatula for about 10 minutes. This is the most important part of the cake making process as it makes the cake soft and fluffy.

  • Next, gently add the cracked eggs into the mixing bowl and mix well.

  • Add the nutmeg powder and milk into the mixture and continue to mix

  • Then use your sieve to add your baking powder into the mixture.

  • Then add the flour to the mixture too and keep mixing together.

  • Now that we are done mixing, you will pour the mixture into your aluminium foil plates or baking pan.

  • Place the foil plates in your preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes.

  • When you want to know it is done you can check by inserting a fork or toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
