Fluffy Stovetop Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
• 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
   • Add the milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Stir well.
   • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
2. Cook on the Stovetop:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
   • Pour the batter into the skillet and spread it evenly.
   • Cover the skillet with a lid to trap the heat, allowing the cake to cook evenly.
   • Cook on low heat for 12–15 minutes, or until the surface is set and bubbles appear.
3. Flip and Finish:
   • Carefully flip the cake using a large spatula or plate, then cook the other side for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown.
4. Serve:
   • Let the cake cool slightly before slicing.
   • Serve plain, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or with your favorite toppings like honey, jam, or whipped cream.
