Nne ehn!
You can sabi hype me. Hahahahahaha

I'll share one easy chocolate cake recipe soon. Very easy.

Happy Sunday.

No be hype ooooooo

Na true I dey talk

Am already waiting for the chocolate cake recipe!

mariahAngel:
Did you measure the ingredients correctly?
The first rule to baking a (near) perfect cake is measuring the ingredients correctly.

You tried though.

The cake Queen is here.

It took me some cake fails to add the required measurements of sugar to flour.
I always added everything in right measurements except sugar.
The sugar always appeared too much and I said I didn't want much sugar not knowing the sugar helps the flour rise

You should do some more tutorials on cake for us.

Happy weekend nne.

Sorry gloryhomemaker, I couldn't cope with the pot; I didn't know how to cope with the low heat. So, I took the pan and transferred it to the oven instead. I reduced the heat this time to 150° from 170° I used the first time

You are doing great sir.

wehdone:
Done with one... Taste is good, but I'm far from satisfied with the look


Oya ooo... Make una come tell me what went wrong ooo....
Mariahangel, gloryhomemaker


170° for 35mins
Oven was preheated for 10mins before the pan was introduced

You did well for the first time, the challenge is that the cake didn't rise well enough.

I got concerned when I saw oil and butter together, both won't help the cake rise well.

Then what's the quantity of liquid milk added?
That also might have contributed.

Another factor is the heat of the oven.
If it's too hot, it will dry up before the batter gets the opportunity to rise.

Personally, my oven has different temperature for different things even when set at the same level. For example if you turn the knob to 150 for baking, it's not the same temperature with 150 for grilling meat. So the heat needs to be at the right temperature.
To help me with that, I prefer using the pot tightly closed and bake at low heat.

Another issue could be the measurements, if things are not measured rightly it will affect the cake.

Did you sift the flour?
Sifting the flour helps break in the flour molecules and helps it rise in the oven.

One last thing I learnt in pastries was not to use long stored flour in anything that should rise except Chin chin.
Anytime I want to bake, I buy the quantity of flour I need that I don't have to store.

Thank you for your efforts. It will still taste nice but not fluffy.

Happy weekend sir.

Please is the cake ready?

Lucrativress:
Really??

Yea, try it and testify

sonnie10:
What brand of All purpose flour?

Am not sure now, its months back.
All of them work for me, depending on the one available.

Af0nja:
The oil is too much, use olive oil next time

Ok.

Ofemmanu1:

Mama wey sabi

Thank you!

nwetadinobi042:
Abeg ma which one is freezer bag

It's that transparent nylon bag with clip locks.
It has variety of colours too. It's used to preserve food in the fridge or freezer.

You can ask of it from the people selling nylon bags.

illicit:
Yeah

But u guys cook varieties

My food is limited to Rice, eba and ogbono, rice again, fufu and egusi, another rice lol

Not so oooooo.

Sometimes I convert the money meant for rice or eba to Frittata and the change makes everyone happy.

ThatsONYI:


What if I don't have a blender?

Mix with a spatula and a bowl.

tonididdy:
Cakes made with cooking oil have a weird smell and taste

You can use any oil of your choice or even butter.
That was what was available for me and it wasn't weird in any way.

chris51:
You can put sand in a pot.
Put it on fire. It can be kerosene stove, or any cooking fire you are used to. Let it be medium fire.
Allow it to heat up.
Put your mixture in pan.
Put the cake pan in the pot.
Cover it.
It makes like oven.

Thank you.

Testimony1988:
Which one is vanilla essence, I need clarification please.

It's a flavour for cakes, there are others but I used vanilla for this.

udomma1005:
Just a pity no need for preservatives in my household. My son and I are dangerous! No size of cake can last more than a day, if it last for two days, then I traveled the yesterday
We definitely can't allow a cake to enjoy the comfort of our home, please!

This picture of the chocolate cake is everything.

Please allow cakes to enjoy the comfort of your home

watchindelta:
Here in italy we don put butter in cake

I bake with butter too.
This particular one is a sponge cake, I prefer oil to butter especially as I would be mixing with the blender.

lalalista:
What did u use to bake it? Is it oven? I don't have oven. What's an alternative way of baking it?

I used pot instead of oven.

sonnie10:
What brand of flour did you use for this?

All purpose flour.

gypsey:
I didn't see weed on your lists of ingredients, how can you bake cake wihout a bit of Marijuana?

You want us all to high

RoyalBlu:
Nice one OP.

Will try this out tomorrow. My boys have been singing it to my ears all week.

Thank you.

Mike008:
Cant i just mix those stuff with my hands. eggs in my blender is yucky

You can mix with your hands but it will take more effort to mix properly.

Eggs in the blender is not that yucky ooo
The mixture of sugar and the other ingredients makes it less slimy.
And I wash mine immediately after mixing.

Mike008:
Nice. You didn't allow the dough to rise though. I thought the dough must rise though

That quantity of cake for the stated ingredients is fair.
Thank you.

lomprico:
What is the difference between baking soda and powder?

They are both different and both can be used for baking.

Ideally I use only baking powder for cake but this particular cake is a sponge cake and the baking soda helps it to be more fluffy.

Daniel7543:
I'm calling EFCC right now to arrest you and your husband.

Looks like a fantastic meal with a hot morning tea.

It's very very fantastic with tea.

mariahAngel:
Nne, would I ever mind when it has to do with plantains?
And you used crinkle cutter to make it look beautiful.

Thanks for showing how to make it without having to put in the oven.
My mistake then was trying to flip, and everything fell apart.

Zonefree will not partake in this one.
He only likes ofe and akpu.

Nne happy weekend oooo

Plantain is bae for my children also and the crinkle cutter gives it an excitement.

Since I learnt baking most things with pan and pot, I prefer it to oven baking these days and it always come out nice.

Zonefree is on a diet with this one

Thank you ma for all your encouragement.
