When I saw the title as "Never fail cake " in Cooking Is Easy blog,I cudn't resist myself from doing.The pictures were so impressing too.This is a full proof recipe and can never fail at any point,if u follow the recipe fully.This is originally a Betty Crocker recipe.Today I didnt plan to do.Rohith was getting bored and was asking for cake.So this recipe struck me and prepared along with Rohith.He was very helpful as u see in the collage.He likes to beat the cake all by himself.I was literally pulling the beater from him .The outcome was so perfect and all of us enjoyed it thoroughly.The cake was too fluffy and moist. It was just like the store bought one.See this link for converting weight into grams .
Pans:
Use two 8 inch pans
Ingredients:
1.All-purpose flour - 2 1/4 cups
1.All-purpose flour - 2 1/4 cups
2.Sugar - 1 1/2 cups
3.Butter - 1 stick (8 tbsp / 4 oz / 1/2 cup)
3.Butter - 1 stick (8 tbsp / 4 oz / 1/2 cup)
4.Milk - 1 1/4 cup
5.Salt - 1 tsp
6.Vanilla Extract - 1 1/4 tsp
7.Baking pwdr - 3 1/2 tsp
8.Eggs - 3
Method:
* Pre- heat the oven for 350 degrees Farenhiet.
* Sift all purpose flour with salt and baking powder.Mix them well and keep it aside.
* Bring butter to room temperature.
* Take a mixing bowl,add butter and sugar.Beat them well.My son was very helpfull in beating the mix.
* Add eggs and vanilla extract.Let us beat them at high speed untill,it becomes fluffy.The more we beat,the more fluffiness we can get in the cake.
* Add the milk and beat the mix once or twise,just to make sure the milk is blended well into the mix.
* Now bring ur beater to slow speed and add the flour mix.Slowly fold the mix and let it get mixed well without any lumps.Dont beat it.Just fold in.Because,if u beat it hard after adding the flour,then your cake wil not rise.

* The quantity ,I have mentioned here makes a really big cake.So take two round pans or a single large rectangle pan ,grease them first with butter.Then flour them .This helps the cake to rise a bit.
* Pour the batter in each cake pan and bake it for 35 to 40 mins or untill the fork comes out clean.Bake the cakes in batches.
* Transfer it to the wire rack and cool completely.
* Cut the cake into cubes and store it in a air tight container.(Sorry for the rough cuts on the cake.Rohith was doing all the mess while he was cutting it).

Note:
* The cake will rise upto 1/4 the size.So use a larger pan.
* Pre heat the oven for atleast 20 mins.
* While pouring the batter into the pan,fill it 3/4 the the space as the cake will rise a lot.
*Each oven has different settings,so bake the cake ,untill toothpick comes out clean.
* To convert cups to grams ,take 1 cup of all purpose flour ,that roughly equivalent to 140 gm.
