CornFlour Cake

No one dislikes cakes and more easier if it is made out with very few ingredients.I stumbled upon this recipe from AnnCoo Journal and took no time to bake them.  These cornflour cakes taste nearly identical to the classic sponge cakes.These cakes are very soft and light but not moist as the butter cakes but taste similar to them. Devouring the cake as such tastes a bit bland but which some fresh berries and whipped cream ,they are such a delight . Utterly a product of convenience. So making your own will be kind of a no-brainer.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Sugar
3 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Syrup
3/4 cups CornFlour
A pinch of Salt.

Method:

Sift the cornflour twice and keep aside.

Beat the eggs with the vanilla syrup until thick and creamy for about 10 minutes.Now gradually add the sugar and beat well.

Fold in the cornflour into the egg mixture.Pour into a well greased pan and bake at 180C in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes until well baked.

Turn the cake onto a wire rack to cool.Dust with icing sugar and top with some  berries you like or with any fruit or chocolate sauce.
