Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups cake flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
400 ml caster sugar
250 ml oil
250 ml milk (can be soy for vegans)
200 ml water
50 ml lemon juice or 50 ml vinegar
1 -2 tsp spice essence ( eg vanilla , orange , strawberry etc)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
Sift ingredients 1 to 5 together.
Mix all liquids together and add gradually to dry ingredients while continuously whisking. Whisk well.
Spray rectangular Pyrex dish with nonstick spray.
I use a 23cm square pan 4cm high. Pour batter into dish and bake till skewer comes out clean from cake.
Cool and frost.
Tip:.
For frosting, I whip 250 ml of cream with.
2 tablespoons of icing sugar and spread this over the cooled cake. If I added strawberry essence in the batter, I will put a few blobs of strawberry jam on the frosting.
Cooks Note: After reading a review from someone, I think perhaps they went for a high cake. Aim for a flatter rather than high cake. So your pyrex or roasting pan should be flatter rather than deeper or higher. Eggless cakes fare poorly when you try to bake them in deep/high dishes instead of flat, as they dont have eggs to help them rise. This could lead to rawness in the centre, whereas a flatter cake would cook evenly.
