🍰 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • ½ cup milk

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Batter

In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy. Add oil (or melted butter) and vanilla essence, then mix well.

Step 2 – Add Dry Ingredients

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this into the wet mixture, mixing gently.

Add milk gradually and mix until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3 – Bake the Cake

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan or cake mold.

Pour the batter into the pan and tap it lightly to remove air bubbles.

Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 4 – Cool & Serve

Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with tea or coffee for the best taste.

😋 Tips for Perfect Tea Cake

  • Don’t overmix the batter
  • Use room temperature eggs for better texture
  • Add vanilla for aroma
  • Bake on medium temperature for soft crumb
  • Let it cool before cutting for clean slices
