It was another weekday and I got off from work and back home. I
was tired and stressed so, I decided to bake after a really long time and I
did. I browsed through a lot of recipes and read some of my own too and decided
to bake some cookies and then my mom changed my mind and asked me to bake a
cake.
I got convinced though I was irritated. But, for a change I decided on a Loaf cake which I haven't tried at all and when I browsed online there were like only a couple of loaf cake recipes so, that was it. I had to bake a loaf cake.

The ingredients and method is almost similar to a cake recipe
except for the fact that the time taken to bake is longer and the softness and
texture of the cake is better than a normal one.
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 + 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla essence
- Nuts- I used cashews and almonds(I did not chop them, rather added them whole and arranged some on the top of the loaf)
Method:
- Sift dry ingredients consisting of flour, salt and baking powder and keep aside
- In a bowl, cream butter and sugar till fluffy
- Add vanilla and mix well
- Add one egg at a time and beat well
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet mix followed by milk
- The addition of dry ingredients should end with addition of milk, eg) Add flour, beat and add milk, beat then flour and then milk etc..
- Now you will have a fluffy creamy and yummy mixture
- Spoon this into a loaf pan that is buttered and ready, Arrange and decorate nuts as per your choice
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 deg for almost an hour
- I kept checking whether its cooked every 15 mins after 30 mins of continuous baking.
Cool on a wire rack and slice into a heavenly vanilla cake.
This is how the cake looked. More like a loaf of bread but, extremely
soft and yummy.
Hope you enjoyed reading.
Until next time.
