I am not a baker, but I love to bake a simple cake to treat my
friends and family with an afternoon tea. Many times, I visited the YouTube
channel to learn how to bake a cake. I like Jenny Can Cook, One Pot Chef, and
other bakers whom I do not remember here. This is the recipe that I think when
I buy a large container of sour cream at Costco. I needed to find a way to
finish before the sour cream turns bad. The answer is easy yellow cake as you
have come to know me. My kitchen always has cake mix or muffin mix on hand. Let’s
do some baking.
Ingredients;
Dry ingredients:
2 cups cake mix
1/2 tsp baking soda
Wet ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil or 1
stick of melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Others:
1/4 to 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven set to 350°.
Grease and flour an 8” x 8”
baking pan or baking dish.
Sift the flour and baking soda
and set aside.
Combine all the wet ingredients
and use a handheld beater to blend well.
Pour the blended wet
ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until batter smooth (use the handheld
beater to help you with this task or use the100-year-old-grandmother method to
bake a cake-50 strokes). Do not overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared
baking pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the
center comes out clean. The baking time varies by the oven model and also the
size of the baking pan. You just have to adjust as you go.
Let cake bake completely and
then sprinkle with powdered sugar on top.
This simple cake will go well
with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
