Cake Flavours
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– Optional flavorings (e.g., cocoa powder, citrus zest, almond extract, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
6. Divide the batter evenly into separate bowls depending on how many flavors you want to create. For each flavor variation, add the desired flavoring (e.g., cocoa powder for chocolate, citrus zest for lemon, almond extract for almond flavor) and mix until incorporated.
7. Pour each flavored batter into the prepared cake pan, one on top of the other, to create a layered effect. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled design.
8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the cake has cooled, you can frost it with your favorite icing or enjoy it plain. Slice and serve to enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
