Ingredients for Beat And Bake Madeira Cake

  • 175g (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • Milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • Vanilla Extract
  • 175g (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 175g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

How to Make Beat And Bake Madeira Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes using an electric mixer).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the lemon zest and Madeira wine until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
