NIGERIAN CAKE RECIPE (3)

This Nigerian cake recipe is not the first posted here. There are many cakes here posted by me and others sent in by blog readers. Nigerian cakes are not light, they are a bit dense and not at all juicy, not too sweet. Just well balanced the way we love our cakes. Nigerian cakes may not do well if we try to eat them with fork.

This is an easy recipe that baked really fast perhaps because I used two shallow baking pans for just 3 cups of flour. This recipe requires the use of self raising flour. We don’t have one at home right now but there is a recipe on this blog for how to make your own self rising flour at home. Going by that recipe, a little baking powder and tiny bit of salt added (according to measurements) will automatically turn all purpose flour to self rising flour. That’s what we did here. and the delicious cake is ready. Go here and learn to bake cake without sugar.

I can also teach you how to bake good cake without oven. To see all the cake recipes on this blog, follow this all cake recipes here.
