Cake in 15 Minutes (Grandma’s Secret Cake)
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional additions
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for chocolate cake)
Powdered sugar or chocolate sauce for topping
Instructions
1. Mix the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla.
Mix until smooth and lump-free (do not overmix).
2. Cook (Choose One Method)
Microwave Method (Fastest)
Grease a microwave-safe dish or glass bowl.
Pour in the batter.
Microwave on HIGH for 5–7 minutes (check at 5 minutes).
Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Stovetop Method (No Oven)
Grease a non-stick pan with a lid.
Pour in batter and cover.
Cook on very low heat for 10–12 minutes.
Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
3. Serve
Dust with powdered sugar
Drizzle with chocolate or honey
Serve warm with tea or coffee
