QUICK CAKES PANCAKE MAKER RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl or mixing jug, whisk together egg, sugar and half of milk (2/3 cup).
• Add the flour and mix throughly.
• Then add remaining milk (2/3 cup) and baking powder. It should be the consistency of thick cream.
• (Optional): Add 1-1/2 tsp oil if you have trouble with sticking.
• Beat until smooth.
• Pour about a soup spoon sized amount onto a pre-heated lightly greased frying pan or griddle (You will need to start about medium high heat but after a few rounds you will need to drop it back to medium).
• Flip with a spatula when the top is all bubbly (should be a lovely golden colour), and cook the other side (~45 seconds/side depending on stovetop).
• Remove from pan and pile up on a plate (cover with a paper towel until served).
• Serve with whatever you like and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170?. Place a baking liner in the cake pan.
• Combine the eggs and sugar and whip. It's easier to whip them if you use a hand mixer. It will take about 15 minutes with a whisk, 7~8 minutes with a hand mixer.
• Whip until the mixture forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
• When it's very fluffy, add the pancake mix that was shaken in a plastic bag to break up flour lumps, and fold in gently.
• When it's mixed in, add the soy milk and mix up from the bottom. Do the same with the olive oil and vanilla extract.
• After you have mixed everything, the batter will have lost a lot of its fluffy texture, so it's important to whip really well in Step 3.
• Pour the batter into the baking pan. Drop it lightly once to smooth out the surface.
• Bake for about 25 minutes at 170? while checking from time to time. Cover with aluminum foil when it starts browning midway through.
• Insert a skewer and if it comes out clean, it's done. Take out from the oven and let it cool down a little. Peel off the liner and start decorating the cake when it's cooled.
• The cake made by a whisk: It became a slightly thin sponge cake that is about 4 cm high and 18 cm diameter.
• You can put a lot of decorations on an 18 cm diameter cake.
• The sponge was a little thin, but the end product turned out to be a perfect size for kids. It was fluffy and looked great.
• For my daughter's birthday in December 2011: I used a 15 cm diameter cake and I couldn't put a lot of decorations, but it was a perfect size for a family of 4~5 people to finish up in one sitting.
• Christmas cake in December, 2011: I used a large baking pan, so I doubled the amount of the ingredients. It was a big gorgeous cake and more than enough for 8 adults.
• For Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day festival) in March, 2012: Using the same amount of the ingredients but with a pound cake pan. I decorated the cake first, and cut into triangles. It was a perfect size for a family of 4~5 people.
