Blend a Perfect Cake Batter
Introduction
Did you know you can make a delicious homemade cake using just a blender? Using a blender to mix your cake batter saves time, reduces mess, and ensures a smooth, lump-free texture. Whether you're a baking beginner or looking for a quick dessert fix, this method makes cake-making effortless.
Ingredients
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup butter (melted)
-
1 cup milk
-
2 eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp baking soda
-
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Blend the Wet Ingredients
Add the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to your blender. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the blender. Blend in short pulses until everything is fully combined and forms a smooth batter. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 4: Pour and Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, frost as desired and enjoy!
Tips for Success
-
Do not overblend: Overmixing can make the cake dense. Blend just until combined.
-
Room temperature ingredients: Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for better texture.
-
Experiment with flavors: Add cocoa powder for a chocolate cake or swap vanilla for almond extract.
Conclusion
Using a blender to make cake batter is a game-changer for easy baking. With minimal effort and mess, you can whip up a delicious homemade cake in no time. Give this method a try for your next baking adventure!
