Nigerian Cake Ingredients 

The amounts of fixings recorded underneath are what I utilized for a cake that I prepared with a 10 inch distance across and 2.5 inch profound cake container. Whenever done, the cake had a breadth of 10 inches (obviously) and a stature of 2.5 creeps with a slight vault.

• 500g/1.1 lbs. Plain Flour
• 12 Medium Eggs
• 500g/1.1 lbs. Spread (NOT Margarine)
• 400g/0.88 lbs. Granulated Sugar
• 3 teaspoons of Baking Powder
• 3 tablespoons of Vanilla Extract
• Half measure of Brandy

Devices You'll Need to Bake a Nigerian Cake

• The accompanying are the negligible apparatuses you'll have to heat a Nigerian Cake:
• A broiler with a top and down warming ability is ideal
• Cake blender.
• Kitchen scale: 
• Strainer or Sifter
• Egg Whisk.
• Bowls
• Spatulas
• Cake Pan: 10 crawls in distance across and 2.5 inches profound

The flour to use for your Nigerian Cake
    You MUST utilize plain flour for you to have accomplishment with the Nigerian Cake formula point by point on this page. I don't comprehend what utilizing a self-rising flour will do to your cake on the off chance that you utilize it. The issue with self-rising flour is that they never express the measure of the raising operator (for this situation, preparing powder) they added to the flour. This is the reason I lean toward plain flour with the goal that I have more control over the measure of heating powder that I add to the cake formula.

The spread to use for you Nigerian Cake 
For those living in Nigeria, please utilize preparing spread NOT margarine. You ought to have the capacity to purchase heating margarine from any shop that offers pastry kitchen fixings. For my US group of onlookers whose spread comes in sticks. I don't have the foggiest idea about the heaviness of 1 stick of margarine. Possibly this is composed on the wrapping so you can check it and afterward know what number of sticks compare to 1.1 lbs.
   Kindly don't soften the margarine. Bring it out from the refrigerator the day preceding you make your Nigerian cake. Thusly, it will be sufficiently delicate for creaming on the day you'll heat the cake.

Sugar 
   On the off chance that you think your granulated sugar is excessively coarse, you can pound it with a dry factory (the one utilized for crushing egusi, ogbono, and so on) before adding it to the margarine for creaming. You just need to pound it a tad bit to lessen the extent of the grains of sugar. This decreases the creaming time.

Enhance 
   The occupation of the vanilla concentrate is just to add a vanilla flavor to the cake. In the event that you need another flavor, for example, butterscotch (utilized as a part of wedding cakes) and so forth, please utilize it to supplant the vanilla flavor and include it when I include the vanilla flavor.

Dry Fruits 
  In the event that you need to include dry organic products, for example, raisins, please absorb these cognac for no less than 1 week (up to 1 month for Nigerian wedding cakes) before adding it to your cake. This is so that the organic products won't make the cake turn sour or taste clever after some time particularly for Nigerian Wedding cakes which individuals get a kick out of the chance to keep for a more extended time.

Liquor 
   The liquor is an additive for the cake. With each one of those eggs in the cake, it can turn sour before the occasion on the off chance that you don't include liquor or some other cake additive to it. Here, I am discussing on the off chance that you will put the cake on the counter for a couple days while brightening it (particularly to wed cakes). However, in the event that you are making a cake that you will toss into your cooler when it has chilled off, then no requirement for the schnaps.

In any case, kindly don't run over the edge with the cognac. You don't need individuals to feel blasted subsequent to eating your cake.

Before you make the Nigerian Cake

• Ensure that every one of the utensils and apparatuses you will use for the cake are spotless and dry.
• Check, check and watch that you have every one of the fixings you should heat the cake.
• Print out the Nigerian cake formula and keep it close by. For the individuals who lean toward utilizing the video, bring your tablet sufficiently close. LOL
• Everything prepared? How about we go!

Making the Nigerian Cake: Step by Step 

1. Cream the margarine and the sugar 
Put the delicate margarine and the granulated sugar into the blender and begin creaming.
    I utilized the most noteworthy setting on my blender which is a 300 Watts apparatus and the creaming took me an aggregate of 60 minutes.
   If it's not too much trouble take after the guidelines in the client manual of your blender while creaming. For my blender, the direction says that I ought not run the apparatus for over 10 minutes on end. Along these lines, I cream for 10 minutes, stop to give the blender a chance to rest and chill off, I run it again for ten minutes and so forth. What's more, it took me an aggregate of 1 hour creaming time (stoppage time excluded) to totally cream the spread and the sugar. Your own particular time might be pretty much relying upon the kind of blender you have and the extent of the grains of your sugar.
    An all around creamed sugar/margarine blend ought to look much more white than the spread you began with, gentler (it ought to have the capacity to drop from a spoon, see video) and you can scarcely feel the granulated sugar when you taste the creamed spread and sugar. Some granulated sugar might be persistent and you can in any case feel the grains however it's OK inasmuch as the margarine/sugar blend is as white and delicate as could reasonably be expected.

2. Set up your preparing dish 
   When you are practically finished with the creaming, set up your cake container by rubbing the inner parts with delicate margarine. At that point put some flour into the lubed dish, ensuring the flour touches each part, then spill out the flour.
    The lubing and flouring of the inner parts of your cake container will keep the cake from adhering to the dish in this manner making it simple for you to draw out the cake from the skillet when done, without scratching the cake.

3. Beat the Eggs

Break every one of the eggs into a major bowl and whisk them to a smooth mix.

4. Include the eggs and blend
   Before you do this progression, you ought to ensure that your spread and sugar are very much creamed.
    In the event that your blender is sufficiently huge to suit the creamed margarine and sugar with the whisked eggs, include the whisked egg into the blender. Blend till you have a smooth fleecy mix of the creamed margarine/sugar and the eggs.
    In the event that your blender is not sufficiently enormous, exchange the creamed spread and sugar to a greater bowl. Include the eggs and utilize a hand blender to blend the two till you get a feathery smooth mix. My blender is very little so this is the thing that I did in the video beneath. This took me around 5 minutes with my 300 Watts hand blender which is extractable from my blender.

5. Turn on your broiler to preheat
  nIt's presently time to turn on your stove to 150°C or 302°F with the goal that it can begin warming up while you wrap up the cake. You ought to likewise change it to the up and down warmth setting.

6. Include the fancy fixings 
   Include the vanilla concentrate or whatever other kinds of your decision, include the liquor and pre-splashed dry natural products (assuming any) and blend with a wooden spatula till everything is all around consolidated. Include some sautéing on the off chance that you are heating a Nigerian wedding cake. This is the thing that gives the cake the dull shading.

7. Include the plain flour with the heating powder 
   Presently, add the heating powder to the plain flour.
   Put the blend into a strainer or a flour sifter. Include little amounts of the flour through the strainer/sifter into    the bowl where you as of now have other cake fixings.
Blend exceptionally well with the wooden spatula. Include another little amount of the flour with preparing powder. Blend.
    Rehash this procedure till all the flour is joined. I caution you, this technique can make your arm bite the dust a bit so make certain you are prepared for the arm practice before you begin. :)

Notes:
    It is fitting to mix the cake blend in one course, in a collapsing style, while including the flour on the grounds that most cake specialists say that when you mix the other way, air pockets will be caught in your cake blend and your cake will have gaps in it when done.
    It is critical to go the flour through a strainer or sifter with the goal that you are certain that the flour that enters the cake blend in its finest powder frame. You would prefer not to have little chunks of flour in your cake isn't that right? This likewise guarantees an exceptionally smooth cake blend.

8. Empty the cake blend into the lubed cake dish 

   Once every fixing is all around fused, it's a great opportunity to empty the blend into the lubed cake skillet.
   In the event that you need to make a multicolour layered cake then you ought to now partition the cake blend into the quantity of hues you need. Placed these into particular clean dry dishes. Add the hues to every, mix well and fill the cake container in a steady progression. You ought to ensure you level out every hued cake blend however much as could reasonably be expected before pouring another.
    Once you've poured in all the cake blend into the cake container, tenderly lift and drop the cake dish a few times to level out the cake blend however much as could be expected (see video). Try not to stress if the top is not all that smooth, when the warmth of the broiler gets to it, it will level out.

9. Preparing Time!

   Exchange the cake to the preheated stove, setting the rack somewhere between the top and the base of the broiler.
   Prepare for no less than 2 hours before endeavoring to open the broiler way to check the cake. It took my cake 2 hours to ascend to most extreme and on the off chance that you open the stove entryway before the cake has completely risen, you have interfered with the preparing procedure, the cake will quit rising, may not be uniformly cooked when done and it will be harder than typical when done. There are unlimited things that can turn out badly with your cake in the event that you don't sit tight for it to rise completely before opening the broiler entryway. That it smells like cake does not imply that it is finished. :)
   Despite the fact that mine took 2 hours, you ought to watch out for yours till you see that it is no longer ascending before endeavoring to open the broiler entryway. All broilers are not a similar so you ought to utilize my preparing time as a guide as it were.

10. Check the Cake

   Following 2 hours, when I'm certain that the cake is does not rise anymore, I check it by driving a blade into the focal point of the cake. On the off chance that the blade turns out with smears of the cake blend, then the cake is not done. On the off chance that it tells the truth and dry, with just a spread of margarine (sleek look) then the cake is finished. In the event that the cake finishes the blade test, I go ahead to do alternate tests.
   The second way I check the cake is to investigate the sides of the cake dish. The cake ought to be isolated from the dish or possibly not adhered to the container.
   The third way I watch that the cake is done is to plunge a wooden (stick) into the center of the cake. Wooden sticks are somewhat rougher than blades so they tend to get spreads more. So if the wooden stick tells the truth, the cake ought to be finished.
   Notwithstanding when my cake passes the greater part of the above checks, despite everything I do the fourth test so I can be doubly certain that it is done before bringing it out of the stove. No one needs to wind up with a fixed cake. The fourth and last look at I convey is to tenderly push the cake down at the center with my open palm. On the off chance that the cake springs back when I lift my palm and there is no impression of my palm on the cake, then the cake is finished.

11. Cool and Decorate/Refrigerate 
   When you are certain that the cake is done, bring it out of the stove and allow it to sit unbothered for just 5 minutes then take out the sides of the dish. At that point leave to chill off totally before brightening the cake.
   You can likewise cut it up in attractive sizes and store in the cooler.

That is the means by which the Nigerian Cake is made. You can serve it up as a nibble with a chilled drink or eat it as a treat. Whenever adorned, use for birthdays and weddings.
