Tea Cake

I found this recipe in the Malayalam women's magazine Vanita and the grand old lady who is the author of it calls it the Yellow Cake. It came out good and maybe you could try it out too.

• Milk - 1 cup
• Eggs - 4


• Maida/white flour - 2 cups


• Butter - 1/2 cup


• Baking powder - 2 tsp


• Vanilla essence, lemon essence - 1/2 tsp each


• Sugar - 2 cups

1. Break eggs into a bowl. Add sugar into it and beat well till it's frothy.


2. Sieve maida and baking powder together.


3. Add this to the egg mix slowly.


4. Add the essences.


5. Boil milk and add the butter into it.


6. Mix this to the cake batter.


7. Grease a cake bin/glass bowl, sprinkle maida over it and then pour in the cake mix.


8. Bake at 350 deg F, for 45-60 minutes.
   * In my Samsung microwave, I use the Microwave + Convection mode and bake at 180 W for 20-25 minutes.
