Introduction
Cooking is an art that allows us to experiment and create delicious dishes. But sometimes, recipes have their “parentage” questioned! Who’s the real inspiration behind a dish? Like discovering a child’s father, determining the origins of recipes can take sharp observation. This article features a unique recipe that invites creativity, flexibility, and fun, ensuring every cook can make it their own.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 cups flour (all-purpose or your preferred variety)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
½ cup melted butter or oil
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk (or any dairy-free alternative)
Optional add-ins:
½ cup chocolate chips
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup shredded coconut
Directions
Prepare the Basics: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
Bring It All Together: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add Creativity: Stir in your chosen add-ins like chocolate chips, cinnamon, or coconut for a personal touch.
Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the dish to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve: Pair slices with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries for a perfect presentation.
Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices and reheat when needed.
