PIRATE BIRTHDAY CAKE
From vivian 17 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 9
This was a request from my friend for her 3 yearold grandson, I used the blender recipe which is a very easy recipe and always comes out as light as a feather,
Ingredients
- 5oz /125g plain flour shopping list
- 1oz/25g cornflour shopping list
- 6oz/150g caster sugar shopping list
- 1 level dessert spoon baking powder shopping list
- Good pinch of salt shopping list
- 4 tablespoons plus 1 dessert spoon pure corn oil shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
- vanilla essence shopping list
How to make it
- Sift the flour, cornflour, 4oz/100g of the sugar and the baking powder and salt into a large piece of paper, then tip into a large blender. If you do not have a large enough blender put the sifted mixture into a large bowl.
- Add the oil to the blender or bowl with 6 tablespoons water. Separate the eggs and add the yolks and a few drops of vanilla essence and blend or whisk to mix thoroughly.
- Whisk the egg whites stiffly, stir in the rest of the sugar and whisk again until very stiff.
- Lightly fold the contents of the blender into the egg whites, or if not using a blender, fold the egg whites into the contents of the bowl.
- Grease two 8in/20cm sandwich tins line the bases with circles of none-stick paper. Divide the mixture evenly between them. (I have made this in one large cake tin and halved when cool and it still works but it need a bout 10 minutes more cooking time, test with metal skewer)
- Bake in a moderately hot oven (375°F/190°C, gas mark 5) for about 25 minutes until firm to the touch, golden brown and shrinking slightly from the edges of the tin.
- Turn on to a wire rack to cool. Sandwich the cakes and decorate them as you wish.
