This Eggless Custard Powder Cake is an old family recipe that my granny used to bake. I hope you'll enjoy baking this delicious cake for your family.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease an 8″ cake tin with oil and line the base with butter paper/baking paper.
In a bowl shift all-purpose flour and baking powder 3 times. This process makes the cake more spongy. Now add custard powder into this, mix well and keep aside.
In a separate bowl mix oil, sugar, milk and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry flour mixture. Whisk well until a lump-free batter forms.
Pour this into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 50-60 minutes (read note). Insert a toothpick/sharp knife in the middle of the cake, it’s done if the toothpick comes out clean. If not, bake for some more time, then check again.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes and then run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan and carefully remove the cake. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave there until completely cooled.
When cooled slice, serve and enjoy!
