Do you need flour and butter to bake a cake?
Not at all - even without these classic ingredients you can bake a wonderful yoghurt cake.
Here's the recipe.
Baking is a great hobby because – depending on the cake recipe and the requirements – it almost always works out and the result can be eaten straight away and is rewarded for your work.
Sponge cakes in particular, where, as the name suggests, you only have to stir the ingredients together, are ideal for beginners.
Few ingredients, short preparation time and a delicious result: that's what you want from a good cake recipe.
The only problem: at the moment there may be bottlenecks in the supermarket for certain foods.
For fear of delivery problems, some consumers hoard certain ingredients such as cooking oil, flour or butter.
So what to do -
you can't bake a cake
without flour and butter ?
That's not true, like this
