Pin It



"A new year is unfolding – like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within."

Goodbye 2011 … Welcome 2012! Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you all a New Year filled with peace, prosperity and happiness :)

How about a fun new recipe to celebrate the beginning of the new year? Have you ever thought of making a cake in a sandwich maker? It is so easy & quick that just takes a few minutes to cook. A perfect delicious treat to satisfy your sweet cravings without spending too much time in the kitchen :)

Vanilla Triangle Cake 
************************
Source : Masala Mornings

Makes : 12

Ingredients :
  •  1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp.  baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter ( I used cooking oil )
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp.  vanilla essence
Method :
  • Sieve flour and baking powder in a bowl, keep aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat till creamy.
  • Add in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Add essence and beat again.
  • Fold in flour mixture.
  • Prepare Sandwich Maker by brushing both sides of the sandwich maker ( cooking surface ) with cooking oil. Close and preheat until the light turns red.
  • Spoon your cake batter in each well until full but not overflowing. 
  • Close the lid of the sandwich maker and cook for approximately 3 - 4 minutes or until golden brown. 
  • Take out the cakes, sprinkle with Icing sugar & serve right away.
My Notes :
  • Check after 3 minutes with a toothpick, if the tooth pick comes out clean, it's ready. If not, cook a little longer, checking after every minute. 
  • They are best eaten right away. But you can make them in advance too, just microwave for a minute or so until warm.

    Ich hatte meinen Sandwichmaker schon Jahre, habe ihn mal als Werbegeschenk bekommen und bisher noch nie genutzt. Jetzt habe ich mal meinen Keller durchstöbert und ihn gefunden und - was soll ich sagen - das Ding macht echt süchtig!!!! HAR HAR HAR
