First, break the eggs into the bowl of a food processor or into a deep, tall container if you are using a mixer. We warm the butter to room temperature - it is important that it is warm and can be mixed in the dough, and not stray into lumps.
2. Put the butter in a bowl, pour in the dry mixture for the cake, pour in the milk - warm, but not hot! Do not add any flavorings and baking powder, do not extinguish the soda with vinegar, otherwise you will get too oversaturated pastries - it's all there in the mixture! If you purchased a mixture with a filler (in the recipe, these are pieces of chocolate), you will add the filler to the dough later (see point 4).
3. First, beat the dough for 2 minutes at low speed, so that everything mixes well, and then 4-5 minutes at high speed, so that the components connect with each other.
4. Add chocolate to the dough.
5. Cover the form parchment paper and grease it with odorless oil - creamy or vegetable. Pour the dough into the mold. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees and bake the cake for about 1 hour, without increasing the heat, so that it is baked from the inside.
Good day to all!
Yesterday I wanted to make something for tea and I remembered that I have a package of ready-made vanilla cake mix.
The mixture consists of wheat flour premium, sugar and baking soda, plus an identical flavor to vanilla.
I gave the ingredients from which you can make such a mixture yourself.
But in addition to the finished mixture, we also need butter, two eggs and 80 ml of milk.
The butter was warmed up a little so that it melted, but it was not hot.
I beat in two eggs and mixed everything thoroughly.
It is advisable to beat the whole mixture with a mixer, but I'm more used to mashed potatoes.
I added milk and the prepared mixture for cupcakes to the egg-butter mixture and also mixed and beat everything.
The result was a thick mass that lagged well behind the bowl.
I kept it for a few more minutes, so that the dough came up a little.
Lubricate the foil form with oil and lay out the dough.
Baked at a temperature of 170 degrees for thirty minutes.
This is the cake I made.
True, due to the fact that there was a ready-made mixture, it smelled a little of soda and there was little vanilla.
In the context, not as crumbly as we would like, but you can eat it. Especially since the portion is not big.
Try to make such a cake, but replace the store-bought mixture with homemade.
Everyone Bon appetit!
