Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 grams Sugar
• 120 ml Low-fat milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 ml Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs using an electric mixer until they are light and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually add the sugar to the eggs, continuing to beat until the mixture is creamy and pale in color.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and vegetable oil, mixing well.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the low-fat milk, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake has cooled, preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut the cake into 1.5 cm (about 1/2 inch) thick slices.

Step 12

Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 13

Flip the slices over and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crisp.

Step 14

Remove the rusk from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 15

Enjoy your homemade low-fat cake rusk with a cup of tea or coffee.
