SAEDNEWS: Cakes are among the most delightful and enjoyable international snacks and breakfasts, available in a variety of flavors and textures. You can prepare your favorite cakes at home, whether with an oven or without, using a few simple and accessible ingredients for any occasion or gathering.
According to SAEDNEWS, cakes are a versatile treat that pairs beautifully with both hot and cold beverages. While some people prefer round cake molds, others opt for bundt or loaf molds, depending on personal preference. Today, we will teach you how to make a stove-top cake (pot cake) without an oven. Let’s get started!
Sugar: 1 teacup
Vegetable oil: 1 teacup
Eggs: 2
Flour: 1.5 French-style teacups
Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
Vanilla: ½ teaspoon
Milk: 1 teacup
Take a bowl and crack the eggs into it. Add the sugar and vanilla, then use an electric mixer at high speed to whisk them for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy, light, and pale in color.
After combining the initial ingredients, separately add the milk and oil to the mixture, mixing each for about 1 minute until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Mix them slightly, then sift the mixture twice. Gradually add the sifted flour and baking powder to the egg mixture in three stages. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula or hand whisk after each addition to create a smooth, thick batter. Stir in one direction using circular motions to maintain the batter’s fluffiness.
Take the mold you plan to use for baking and grease it lightly with vegetable oil using a kitchen brush. Dust the base with a little flour. Pour the prepared batter into the mold and tap it gently on the table a few times to smooth the surface.
Choose a pot larger than the cake mold. Place a metal object (such as a cutter or trivet) at the bottom of the pot to prevent direct contact between the mold and the pot. Use a heat diffuser under the pot, set the flame to low, and cover the pot lid with a cloth to trap steam. Preheat the pot for about 15 minutes.
After preheating, place the mold inside the pot, cover it, and allow the cake to bake on low heat for about 50 minutes. The low heat, along with the diffuser and cloth-covered lid, ensures even baking. Once done, remove the cake from the pot, let it cool, then unmold and slice as desired.
Your simple and delicious stove-top cake is now ready to enjoy! Serve it in your preferred shape and style, and savor it as a delightful treat for any occasion.
