Chec (Home + Jamie Oliver) Cup Measurement

Ingredients

• 4 Eggs (whole (whites + yolks))
• 0.6 cup Sugar (cup/glass)
• Lemon juice or citric acid (a pinch of lemon juice or citric acid)
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil (3/4 cup)
• 1 packet Baking powder (1 packet of baking powder)
• 1 packet Citric acid or Lemon juice (1 packet of citric acid or the juice of half a lemon)
• 1.2 cup Flour (1 and a half cups)
• Filling of choice (suggested combinations: 4 bananas, walnuts, strawberries, raisins, cocoa, grated pumpkin, jam, or chocolate)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk the four whole eggs (whites and yolks) together.

2. 2

   Gradually add the sugar to the eggs while continuing to mix.

3. 3

   Pour in the vegetable oil and mix until incorporated.

4. 4

   Add the baking powder and the citric acid (or lemon juice) to the mixture.

5. 5

   Incorporate the flour into the batter.

6. 6

   Fold in your chosen filling (e.g., bananas with chocolate, or apples and other fruits with raisins).

7. 7

   Pour the batter into a greased cake tin and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically 40-50 minutes at 180°C/350°F).

Notes

The recipe uses a 'pahar' (glass/cup) as the standard measure for all quantities. Suggested filling combinations include bananas with chocolate, or apples/other fruits with raisins. If using pumpkin, it should be grated directly into the mix.
