For today's entry, I finally broke the procrastination of baking. It's not the real baking though but it's great because I got the cake vibe and this wouldn't be the last as I have made up my mind to learn more about baking. I have learned a few things about baking on Hive but, I have never felt ready to give it a try.
What if it would be good, what if the outcome will be terrible? A lot of things cross my mind whenever I think of trying but I eventually got over it this weekend. If the result isn't great, it would mean that I have to learn more and I am happy that I finally broke the procrastination.
I made a simple fluffy cake and this recipe is easy for a beginner like me so if you are procrastinating too, you should check this out and learn something. It's cheap, easy and doesn't take much of your time to prepare. As a matter of fact, you don't even need an oven to get this done; Isn't that wonderful?
The ingredients I used are;
Flour
Baking Powder
Eggs
Nutmeg powder
Groundnut oil
Food coloring
Sugar.
Milk.
Let's prepare a simple cake.
- I started by sifting half a cup of the flour to remove the unwanted particles if there were any.
- I broke the eggs into a container and added two teaspoonfuls of sugar. I always had the idea of beating my egg+sugar with a blender since it takes a lot of time before it becomes fluffy.
- So I turned the egg and sugar into a blender and blended them for about two minutes.
- I turned the beaten egg & sugar into a container and added a small quantity of baking powder, nutmeg powder, and two drops of food colouring. I mixed the milk in a small quantity of water and turn it into the mixture, I mixed everything with a turning stick until it became smooth.
- Finally, I added the flour bit by bit and mixed again until I exhausted the sifted flour. I set the mixture aside and moved on the the baking.
- I first applied Groundnut oil inside the toaster and this was done to prevent the cake from sticking to the toasting machine.
- I filled the space in the toast machine with the mixture and covered it before turning the machine on.
- I allowed it to toast for three minutes and my kitchen was filled with the cake aroma already.
- I eventually opened the toast machine and viola, the outcome was awesome. Some toasted completely while I needed to turn some to the other side.
The taste was good and the outcome wasn't bad for a first try.
