Ingredients for Anne S Liniment Cake Anne Of Green Gables

  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • Butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • Pure Vanilla Extract

How to Make Anne S Liniment Cake Anne Of Green Gables

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  4. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer for 1 minute.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract.
  6. Add the egg mixture to the batter and beat with the electric mixer for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
  10. Run a metal spatula around the edges of the cakes to loosen them from the pans.
  11. Invert the cakes onto cooling racks. (Place a cooling rack on top of the cake in the pan, then flip.)
  12. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
