HOW TO ENRICH THE DOUGH.
As I mentioned, this dough can be enriched and made more delicious as you like; here are some variations:
You can add 3 large apples to make a wholesome apple cake.
One cup of chocolate chips (frozen and floured) for a chocolate chip cake. You can also add 2 pears for a pear and chocolate cake.
One cup of walnut halves, then chopped for a walnut cake. You can also add apples for an apple walnut cake.
Divide the dough and add 3 tablespoons of cocoa to a small part for a chocolate-marbled cake, 4 tablespoons for a two-tone cake.
One cup of raisins (rinsed and floured) for a raisin cake.
You can replace the milk with room-temperature yogurt.
You can replace the milk with orange juice for an orange cake; also add lots of grated orange zest.
You can replace potato starch with cocoa for a chocolate cake.
You can replace 1 cup of flour with 1 cup of grated coconut for a coconut cake.
You can replace the sugar with brown sugar for a more rustic result. Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or ginger powder, or both for a spiced flavor.
You can replace the milk with soy, rice, or oat milk.
You can replace the milk with pineapple juice and add pineapple chunks for a pineapple cake.
You can halve the sugar for a less sweet cake.
You can add diced strawberries, pitted cherries, or your favorite fresh diced fruit; it should be floured first.
You can add syrup-soaked cherries to the batter or all syrupy fruit; if too large, it should be diced and always floured.
You can sprinkle granulated sugar at the bottom of the greased pan, then arrange pineapple slices and pour the batter over for an upside-down pineapple cake. You can do the same with orange slices.
You can add 1 cup of candied fruit.
You can add 2 diced pears to the batter or arrange them on top.
You can add spoonfuls of Nutella on the surface (add a little less milk to the batter in this case, half a cup).
You can add spoonfuls of jam on the surface (also use half a cup of milk in the batter instead of 1).
You can add spoonfuls of custard or chocolate custard (also use half a cup of milk in the batter instead of 1).
You can add one cup of a mix of chopped nuts.
You can replace 1 cup of flour with 1 cup of hazelnut flour. Also add cocoa.
You can replace 1 cup of flour with 1 cup of almond flour. Also add cocoa.
You can bake it plain or with sugar granules on the surface.
You can bake it plain and fill it once cooled with custard, mascarpone cream, chocolate cream, Nutella, jam, or whatever you prefer; you can soak it or not.
I don’t want to bore you further; you must have understood that you can make everything and more with it, follow your tastes and see how beautiful, soft, and delicious a cake you’ll enjoy 🙂
