Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cream of Wheat
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs

• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of wheat, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 9

Slice and serve as is, or pair with syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for an extra touch.
