Description
Royal Cream Cake Dream delivers comfort in every slice with its soft crumb and sweet almond glaze. It looks simple yet tastes rich and balanced.
Ingredients
Cake
- 125g butter, softened
- 1/2–1 cup sugar (adjust to taste; I usually do 1/2 cup, but sweet-tooths go full cup)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 tsp almond essence
- 2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 cup milk
Royal Cream Glaze
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1 tsp almond essence
- About 5 Tbsp milk (add slowly to reach thick, pourable glaze)
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and line your baking dish.
- In a bowl, cream together 125g softened butter and ½–1 cup sugar until it looks light and fluffy.
- Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one so the batter stays smooth and not chunky.
- Add 1 tsp vanilla essence and 2 tsp almond essence and mix again.
- Add 2 cups self-raising flour and 1 cup milk.
- Mix gently until smooth. Don’t over-mix; just get everything combined.
- Spoon the batter into your lined pan, level it a bit, and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a knife or cake tester poked into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing. If you rush this, your glaze will melt off, and you’ll regret it.
Royal Cream Glaze
- In a bowl, beat together 2 cups icing sugar, 1 tsp almond essence, and start adding milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Aim for a thick but pourable consistency, like slow-moving lava.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and decorate however you like.
