Ingredients

  • 2½ cups pastry flour or cake flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large egg room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil 165 grams total, if you double or triple the recipe double or triple this amount, 1 tablespoon; I use sunflower or corn oil
  • ⅓ cup milk 100 grams total, if you double or triple the recipe double or triple this amount, 1 tablespoon, room temperature, 2% used

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour a 10 inch (25cm) bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the mixing bowl beat (speed #3) together the sugar, eggs, egg yolk and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Drizzle in the oil while continuing to beat (speed #2), add the flour and milk and beat on speed #1 when almost combined raise the speed to #3 and beat approximately 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared ban and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness. Let cool in the bundt pan before removing from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For room temperature ingredients remove from the fridge 30-45 minutes before using.
  • For homemade pastry flour for every cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons of flour and substitute with cornstarch, sift to combine well and remove any lumps, (you can use all purpose flour although pastry or cake flour makes a cake softer).
