Ingredients

Ever unsure which flour works best for a soft cake? Use fresh all-purpose flour for a light and fluffy result.

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
½ cup oil (any neutral oil)
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

(For 2 people, simply halve all ingredients. For more than 4, double or adjust in the same ratio.)

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Ever worry about cakes sticking to the pan? Grease a medium baking pan lightly and line it with paper if you can. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Gather all ingredients so everything is ready before you start mixing.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Ever get lumps in your batter? In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir gently so everything blends evenly. This helps the cake rise smoothly and keeps the texture soft and even.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Ever feel unsure when to add liquids? Add milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla into the dry mix. Stir slowly until you get a smooth batter. Do not overmix. For smaller portions, mix gently as batter thickens faster.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Ever not sure when the cake is done? Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30–35 minutes. The top should look golden and a toothpick should come out clean. For larger batches, baking may take a little longer.

Why This Recipe Works for Busy Days

Ever need something quick that still feels homemade? This cake comes together fast with simple steps and no extra prep. You can mix everything in one bowl, bake it, and store leftovers easily. It’s great for planning ahead and enjoying later without extra work.

Tips & Tricks

Ever end up with a dense cake? Make sure not to overmix the batter once liquids are added. Stir just until combined. For smaller servings, mix even more gently since the batter quantity is less and can thicken quickly.
Ever feel your cake turns dry? Check it a few minutes before the baking time ends. Ovens vary, so keeping an eye helps. If doubling the recipe, baking time may increase slightly, so test carefully.
Ever struggle with uneven baking? Always preheat the oven fully before placing the cake inside. For half batches, use a smaller pan so the cake stays soft and doesn’t spread too thin.
Ever want a softer texture? Use room temperature milk and ingredients. This helps everything blend smoothly. If making a larger batch, mix in parts instead of all at once to keep the batter even.

Variations

Meaty version
Ever thought of pairing cake with something savory? Serve slices of this cake alongside lightly spiced shredded chicken on the side for a sweet and savory contrast. Keep the cake base the same, and adjust portion sizes depending on how many people you’re serving.
Vegetarian option
Ever want to add more texture without changing the base? Mix in chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts. This keeps the cake vegetarian while adding a gentle crunch. For smaller portions, just reduce the add-ins to keep balance.
Ingredient swap
Ever run out of milk? You can use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk instead. The cake still turns out soft. Adjust quantity the same way if cooking for 2 or more than 4 people.
Flavor boost
Ever feel like adding a twist? Add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for a warm flavor. Keep it light so the cake stays balanced. When scaling up, increase flavors slowly so they don’t overpower the cake.

Serving Suggestions

With tea or coffee
Ever want a simple serving idea? Slice the cake and serve it warm with tea or coffee. It’s perfect for quiet evenings. For smaller servings, cut thinner slices, and for larger groups, pair with extra drinks to stretch servings.

With fresh fruit
Ever want something fresher on the side? Add sliced fruits like bananas or berries. The soft cake and fresh fruit balance nicely. You can easily adjust the fruit amount depending on how many people you serve.

Light dessert plate
Ever need a quick dessert idea? Serve the cake with a small scoop of cream or yogurt. It feels light but satisfying. For more guests, simply add more toppings rather than baking multiple cakes.

Celebration style
Ever want to make it look special? Dust the cake with sugar or add a simple glaze. Cut into even pieces for sharing. If serving a crowd, double the recipe and bake in a larger tray.

Storage Instructions

Fridge storage
Ever worry about leftovers drying out? Store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For smaller portions, wrap slices individually so they stay fresh longer.
Reheating
Ever want that fresh-baked feel again? Warm slices in the microwave for a few seconds. This brings back softness. For larger portions, heat only what you need to avoid drying out the rest.
Freezing
Ever want to save some for later? Wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before eating. Smaller slices thaw faster and more evenly.
Make-ahead tips
Ever planning ahead for guests? Bake the cake a day before and store it covered. It stays soft and ready to serve. For bigger gatherings, prepare multiple batches and store them separately.
