- First, measure and keep all the ingredients ready.
- Then sift, maida, milk powder, powdered sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt twice. Pour 1/2 cup of oil to the sifted ingredients.
- Pour the milk and vanilla essence. Using a hand whisk or electric whipper, mix everything without any lumps. By the meantime pre-heat the oven for 15 minutes.
- Line a baking tray with butter paper, brush it with oil, and dust little flour all over. Pour the batter and shake the pan twice, so that the air bubbles releases. Place the tray in a pre-heated oven and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Insert a toothpick in the centre, if it comes out clean, the cake is perfectly baked. Once the cake cools down, halve the cake in the centre with a sharp knife.
- For the Icing: Keep the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla essence ready. Then transfer everything to a mixing bowl. Using a hand whisk or electric whipper, whip it in high speed for 3 minutes until the cream reaches stiff peak consistency.
- For the Sugar Syrup: To a bowl add 2 tbsp of sugar and warm water. Mix well till the sugar dissolves completely (watch the video link for the complete recipe). Then pour a little sugar syrup over the bottom layer and cover it with the icing.
- Now cover the bottom layer with another sliced cake. Brush it with the sugar syrup followed by icing on the top and sides too.
- Slice it and decorate the cake with icing flowers.
- If preferred, decorate with coloured sprinkles.Try this Eggless Vanilla Pastry Cake Recipe for this New Year.
