Ladies Night - Easy Bake Tutorial

The other day my daughter invited some friends over to play, and we had such a blast together. Have you tried easy-bakin' lately?


First, I've got to say I never had an Easy Bake oven as a child. I guess my sister and I wanted one at some point in our chilhood, but who knows? We had many toys and dolls, but not THE Easy Bake oven. So, eventhough my mother probably never pictured it like that, this has been a great present from her to both of us. We are learning, little by little, how to increase our recipes. My daughter's actually thinking about setting up a bakery here, and selling all of our wonderful creations to her friends. She's not joking about it. She's even got the logo ready.

Anyhow, here an easy recipe we tried with her friends that fun day. I'd like to share it with you 'cause it is very simple and non-messy (something not guaranteed with other recipes, so beware!).


Simple Easy Bake Cake
´
{Makes two layers}

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
5 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 teaspoons milk

optional:

chocolate chips, crushed nuts, dried berries
food coloring


Stir together ingredients until batter is smooth and colored.


Next, pour 3 tablespoons of batter into greased and floured cake pan.


Bake for 15 minutes (oven must be preheated).

Mmmhhhhh! Smells good, tastes good. Yummy!

(And the best is you don't have to spend the big bucks on Easy Bake mixes ;)

Enjoy!


With Chefs like these, who wouldn't want to play kitchen?

I never had an Easy Bake Oven when I was a girl either. Santa gave my daughter one this last Christmas and she has been baking up a storm. We are always searching the internet for new recipes so I was delighted when you posted this at my Penny Pinching Party.
