Tips:

  • Before starting, ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the batter emulsify properly and result in a smoother cake.
  • Use unsalted butter so you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Fold in the puffed wheat cereal until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cereal soggy.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Enjoy the cake within a few days of baking. It can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

This easy puffed wheat cake is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
