Classic Barbadian Plain Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature, specifically 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 205 degrees Celsius.
2
To prepare the baking vessel, lightly coat it with a thin layer of oil and dust it evenly with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
Combine the dry ingredients, including flour and baking powder, in a separate container and sift them together to ensure they are well incorporated.
4
Using a spoon or spatula, blend the butter and sugar until they form a smooth and airy mixture.
5
Add all of the eggs at once to the butter-sugar mixture and blend until they are fully incorporated.
6
Combine the egg mixture with the dry ingredients, along with 1 cup of milk, to form a thick batter.
7
Add an additional 1 cup of milk, along with the vanilla and almond flavorings, to the batter.
8
Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured pan.
9
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
10
After 1 hour, reduce the heat to a lower temperature, specifically 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
11
Continue baking the cake for an additional 15 minutes to achieve the desired level of doneness.
