Nestum Cake is one of the most fragrant and nutritious cakes that I have baked. According to the manufacturer, Nestum is made from a delicious recipe of multi-grains such as wheat, corn and rice, and milk. Not only that, it is nutrient-rich being packed with 13 vitamins and minerals. There are a few flavours of Nestum but I only use Nestum All Family Cereal Original in my baking (and cooking). This aromatic and healthy cake makes it a good family cake.
Ingredients:
- 200 g flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 50 g Nestum cereal (and more for sprinkling on top of cake)
- 240 g butter
- 160 g brown sugar
- 4 eggs (Grade A)
- 180 g milk
Method:
- Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees C.
- Grease an 8-inch baking pan. I like to line the base with parchment paper.
- Sift flour and baking powder. Add salt and Nestum cereal to the flour. Mix to combine well. Set aside.
- Beat butter and sugar till creamy and pale.
- Break an egg into a small bowl and add the egg to the butter cream. Continue to beat the cream till the egg is fully incorporated. Repeat this step till all the eggs are used up.
- Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Mix till the batter is smooth.
- Add 1/3 of milk to the batter. Mix to achieve a smooth batter.
- Repeat these 2 steps till all the flour mixture and milk are used up.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan. Sprinkle the additional Nestum cereal on top of the batter.
- Bake the batter in the pre-heated oven for 1 hour.
- When done, open the oven door gently and leave it ajar slightly for 5 minutes.
- Remove the baking pan from the oven and remove the cake from the pan. Let the cake cool down on a metal rack before cutting and serving it.
