Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups/400 Gms plain flour
- 1 1/4 cups/200 Gms caster sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
- 6 tbsp sour yogurt (at room temperature)
- 3/4 cup/150 Gms melted and cooled butter
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 1/2 cups/350 mils milk at room temperature
- 2 tsp vinegar
- 1/4 tsp liquid food colour-6 colours
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
-
Start with the flour, the salt, the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda-sift them twice and set aside.
-
Grease and flour a round baking dish suitable for a microwave.
-
Put the yogurt and sugar in a large bowl .We ground the sugar to a fine powder to make blending easier.
-
Now add the melted butter.Blend well with a hand held whisk. Add the vanilla.
-
Mix the flour mixture and the milk alternately till all is used up. Lastly add the vinegar.
-
Keep 5 bowls at the ready, and put the liquid food colour in the bowls. Be generous-whoever saw and loved a pale rainbow?
-
Now place almost 2-3 ladles full of batter in each bowl, the remaining batter can be coloured with the sixth colour.
-
Now 80% power in your microwave with a glass of water for company….
-
Go for 14-16 minutes. This was midway…you’ll know it’s done when the cake leaves the sides.
-
Out…and I wish we had had the patience…of the top tore off, showing us the colours in all their glory…
-
Spongy, like never before.
