Description

5-Minute Miracle Cake – A light, fluffy, pantry-staple dessert ready in minutes! Enjoy it plain, or dress it up with frosting, fruit, or powdered sugar. Perfect for sudden sweet cravings or easy entertaining

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ cup (120ml) milk

  • ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Pan

Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until combined.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Whisk gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the cake light.

4. Bake

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cool

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Serve

Dust with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite icing before serving.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cake.

  • Ensure oven temperature accuracy for even baking.

  • This cake is a perfect blank canvas for creative toppings and flavors.
