Stovetop Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for chocolate cake) or leave out for vanilla
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• Optional: chocolate chips or fruit for added flavor

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan:
   • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet with a lid. Grease the bottom and sides with butter or oil. If you have a trivet or steaming rack, place it at the bottom of the pot.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or fruit.
4. Pour Batter:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Cook on Stovetop:
   • Cover the pot with a lid and place it over low to medium-low heat. Cook for about 30-40 minutes. Avoid opening the lid too often, as this will let heat escape. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Once done, remove the cake from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve as is or with your favorite frosting or toppings.

Enjoy!
