I have a husband and two lovely kids who just love cakes.. I have been baking for quite sometime now and I usually get my recipes on the internet. I came across this recipe of malunggay cupcake on the web but i was not impressed with the recipe. So, I decided to make a
Malunggay Cake using the
Simple Vanilla Cake recipe and then I added 2 1/2 Tablespoons of
Malunggay Powder that I got from the Ecomarket in Serendra, Global City.
Malunggay Cake
- 2 cups (500 mL) sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons malunggay powder
- 1 cup (250 mL) milk
- 3/4 cup (175 mL) vegetable oil
- 2-1/4 teaspoons (11 mL) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line two 9-inch
(23-cm) round cake pans or one 9x13-inch (23 x 33 cm) rectangular baking
pan with parchment paper. Grease the paper and the sides of the pan
well.
- In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs
together until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add flour, malunggay powder, milk,
oil, baking powder, and vanilla and beat for another minute, just until
the batter is smooth and creamy. Don't overbeat. Pour batter into the
prepared baking pan(s).
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the tops are
golden and a toothpick poked into the center of the layer comes out
clean. (A single rectangular pan will take longer to bake than two round
ones.) Loosen the sides of the cake from the pan with a thin knife,
then turn out onto a rack and peel off the paper. Let cool completely
before covering with frosting, if desired.
