How to make bakery style cake

• Line a 7 or 8-inch baking tin with parchment paper and set it aside.
• Add 1 tsp baking powder to the all-purpose flour or maida and sift it 3 times. Then add the fruits into this flour and mix well. Keep aside for use later.
• Into a mixing bowl, add butter and caster sugar. Cream well with an electric beater or a hand whisk until the mixture turns light and creamy. At this stage, add 1/4 teaspoon salt if you are using unsalted butter.
• Next, add the 3 eggs one at a time and beat well after each egg. Also, add in the vanilla essence.
• Next, add in the flour along with the fruits, little by little, and mix gently with a spatula until all the flour has been incorporated. You can add 2 tbsp of milk to the batter at this stage if you feel that your batter is too thick.
• Now, pour the batter into the lined baking tin and spread it evenly with the help of a spatula. Tap the baking tin a couple of times to remove air bubbles, if any.
• Place the baking tin in a pre-heated oven, and bake the cake for 35 to 40 minutes at 180° C.
• You know that your cake is done, when a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to slightly cool and then de-mould it. Cut into slices and serve with a cup of tea or coffee.
