English cake
The recipe for this is interesting because in its preparation is somewhat unusual method of mixing the dough, which is done literally in 10 minutes. Instead of the usual method where the butter and sugar together vzbivayte, and then dobavlyayut eggs, then flour and milk in this recipe uses what the English call "one Cup" or "fast method" (also known as"dump" cake). This means that you first combine all the dry ingredients and then the butter at room temperature and liquid ingredients are whipped in dough. This method reduces the formation of gluten in the flour with obtaining, thus, baking the soft, more tender consistency. I have to admit, this cake really turns out very soft and tender. Of course, you can make it through the usual method of cooking with great results, but it will be much longer. Most importantly, when using the "one bowl", it is necessary that all the ingredients were room temperature and just observed the duration and speed of whisking.
