Nigella's Buttermilk Cake

22 May 2014

Bake this Nigella's Buttermilk Cake just now, after lunch with my air-fryer. Wow..the cake smell and taste heavenly! So fragrant and moist, and fluffy.

The recipe is from Paris Loves Pastry,  and the recipe is measured in cups and tablespoons. Hence, I have converted it to grams.

Pre-heat air-fryer at 160 degree Celsius.

Butter a 6 inch square pan.

Ingredients:

- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose-flour (160g, I use Cake flour)
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or ⅓ cup plain yogurt mixed with ½ cup low-fat milk) (211g)
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cups soft unsalted butter (113g)
- ¾ cup sugar (suppose to be 170g but I only use 140g and it taste just nice)
- 3 large eggs

Instructions:

1. Flour _ Baking powder + baking soda + salt → whisk to combine → dry

2. Buttermilk + vanilla → wet 

3. Butter + sugar → cream until fluffy

4. + eggs one at a time

5. + flour mixture → mix + buttermilk mixture → mix alternating, ending with flour.

6. Pour into the cake pan and bake.

Verdict: Taste very yummy, soft, and fluffy. Similar to Wipped cream cake I make last time.
