I need the best recipe for a home made cake?

Everytime I try to bake one, either it remains hard and non-porous or its centre sinks down. it smells very nice but the texture is not that great. I think I don't have clear idea how to balance different ingredients.





I don't want to bake it in microwave oven because it cannot provide that heavenly flavor of a conventional classical cake. I want it to be:





1. the simplest


2. without any artificially added essence


3. with brown crisp crust


please suggest me a great recipe. thanksI need the best recipe for a home made cake?

since u don't like artificial essence added and u needed a brown crisp crust I think a coffee cake will do the trick for u ! I do not use BAKING SODA since it is not made as it should be made in india ! 1 teaspoon is just a level but the specific concentration and the effect on the cake varies from time to time!! use Yeast instead !!





2 packages active dry yeast


1/2 cup warm water


3 tablespoons sugar


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup warm milk


2 eggs, slightly beaten


2 teaspoons grated orange peel even lemon peel would do .


2 to 3 cups flour


1/4 cup softened butter (not hard refrigerated )





Dissolve yeast in the warm water. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and salt with warm milk; add yeast mixture. Stir well; add beaten eggs and orange peel. Add enough flour to make a soft dough, stiff enough to knead. Work in butter, a little at a time, with fingers. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Add more flour as needed. Place dough in a buttered bowl; turn so buttered side is up. Cover bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm place. Let rise until double in bulk. The time will depend on the type of yeast u r using. Now transfer this mixture to ur desired baking dish,





Mix sugar and cornstarch; stir in cherries.


Pour cherry mixture evenly over the dough.


Dot with butter and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.


Bake at 350° for 40 to 50 minutes.
