It depends on what type of cake you are going to bake. It would be hard to exactly pinpoint the exact answer because not everybody prefers the same cake. Some would want to make chiffon cake, Japanese cotton cake, pumpkin roll cake, bundt cake, angel food cake, cheesecake, shortcake, spongecake, pound cake, banana cake, apple cake, blueberry cake, coconut cake or chocolate cake. However, for the purpose of this question, we’ll stick with chocolate cake.
For this kind cake, you would need 250 grams of butter (unsalted or salted, but it is highly preferred to use unsalted butter), 180 grams of caster sugar or superfine sugar (although you can use the normal white sugar), 4 large eggs, 220 grams of cake flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, 2 tablespoon of chocolate powder and 250 ml of milk. Preheat your oven to 320 Fahrenheit (160 Celsius) and bake it for about 50 minutes (you can use a toothpick to check if it is fully baked on the inside).
