Ingredients:
- Flour- 1 cup or 125g
- Powdered sugar- 3/4 cup or 94g
- Curd- 1/2 cup or 125g
- Vegetable oil- 1/4 cup or 60ml
- Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
- Baking powder- 1 tsp
- Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
- Lemon zest – 1/4 tsp [OPTIONAL]
Method:
- Preheat the oven/ microwave convection at 180°C.
- In a mixing bowl, add in curd and sugar. Whisk both of these well so that the sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Then, add in oil and vanilla extract. Whisk everything until it’s well combined.
- After that, take a sieve and sift in flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients well until there are no lumps left.
- Finally add in some lemon zest and fold the batter with the help of a spatula until it’s all mixed well.
- Then, take any cake pan, I used a silicone loaf pan, grease it and add parchment paper at the bottom to keep the cake from sticking to the bottom.
- Bake it for 35 to 40 min. Poke a toothpick in the centre to check if it’s fully baked or not. If it’s not, bake for another 5 min or so.
Notes (Must Read):
- Make sure you’re using the microwave convection mode if you’ve decided to use a microwave for baking the cake. Timings and temperature are same for both microwave and oven but on the same hand the timings may vary a little for different brands of microwaves and ovens.
- You may substitute 1/2 curd with 2 eggs.
- The lemon zest is totally optional, it’s not even required, I added it because I like the little flavour that it adds.
- Make sure to grease the cake pan well and also use a parchment paper. Using a parchment paper makes sure that the cake doesn’t stick a bit to the bottom. It is foolproof!
- Let the cake sit in the microwave for about 10 to 20 minutes after it bakes. After that let it cool for an 30 to 40 min at room temperature before taking it out on the plate. If you take it out or slice it when it’s still warm, it might break.
