🍰 Made with everyday ingredients, this is the kind of cake you can make whenever you’re craving something homemade. There’s no frosting, no complicated decorating and no special technique required.
Whisking the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy helps create a beautifully soft texture, while the oil keeps the cake moist and tender.
You can also replace the oil with melted butter if you prefer a richer, buttery flavour. 🍰
🍰 Easy Vanilla Loaf Cake
Ingredients
Eggs – 3
Sugar – 130g (⅔ cup)
Vegetable oil – 120ml (½ cup)
Plain flour – 150g (1 cup)
Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
Baking soda – ¼ teaspoon
Milk – 60ml (¼ cup)
Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Salt – a pinch
Equipment
Measuring cup size: 240ml
Baking pan: 21 × 11 × 6 cm loaf pan
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (350°F) for approximately 40–45 minutes.
Method
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for about 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes pale, light and fluffy.
Pour in the vegetable oil and whisk for another 1 minute until well combined.
You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter if preferred.
Sift the plain flour, baking powder and baking soda directly into the bowl.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until almost combined.
Pour in the milk and continue mixing gently until the batter is smooth and evenly combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into a lined loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (350°F) for approximately 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.
Serve warm or allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy! 🍰
