Basic Ingredients- 200g All-purpose flour
- 110g Warm water
- 160g Oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
- 52g Vegetable oil
- 50g Sugar
- 5g Baking powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, pour 52g of vegetable oil into a large bowl. You can use any neutral-flavored vegetable oil, such as grapeseed or canola oil.
Step 2
Next, add 160g of oligosaccharide for sweetness and mix it in. Oligosaccharide helps keep the cake moist.
Step 3
Add an additional 50g of sugar. Prepare 110g of warm water by heating it in the microwave for about 1 minute until lukewarm. Pour this warmed water into the bowl and stir until the sugar and oligosaccharide are completely dissolved and no lumps remain (approximately 1 minute).
Step 4
Sift 200g of all-purpose flour and 5g of baking powder into the wet ingredients in two additions, mixing gently after each. It’s crucial not to overmix; overmixing can develop gluten and result in a tough cake. Stir just until no dry flour streaks are visible. Break up any large lumps of flour so they are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Grease your pound cake pan thoroughly with oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Ensure all sides of the pan are well-greased.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. After pouring, gently tap the pan on the counter 2-3 times to release any large air bubbles. This step helps create a smoother cake surface.
Step 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a skewer into the center of the cake; it should come out clean with no batter attached. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
