Easy Three in One Processor Cake

This cake is so easy (literally takes 10 minutes to prepare) and tastes great. It should be eaten on the same day as it is baked. Although there are 8 generous slices, four people eat it up in no time –  nothing quite like fresh cake out the oven. The secret to getting it light and airy is to stick to the processor times given – it does not have to look smooth. Overprocessing results in a heavier cake.

  • 2 cups cake flour – don’t sift
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 125g butter cut into cubes, at fridge temperature (NOT ROOM TEMPERATURE)
  • 3 extra large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5ml (1t) vanilla essence
  • 15ml (3t) baking powder
  1. Heat oven to 190°C.
  2. Add cubed butter to flour and sugar in food processor.
  3. Process for 20 seconds ONLY till ingredients are integrated and it looks like coarse Mieliemeel or polenta.
  4. Add eggs and milk and process for 10 seconds. DO NOT OVERPROCESS
  5. Scrape down sides. Add vanilla essence and baking powder and process for 5 seconds ONLY.
  6. Transfer to greased 25cm bundt baking tin (one of those tins with fluted sides and hole in centre) and bake for 28-30minutes until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
  7. Eat.
