1/4 cake

So now that I have taken to baking in very small dishes, I always find it a hassle that I have to convert the ingredients to fit my extremely small baking dish. So I have decided to convert the basic cake into small proportions, which I can then use to make any varieties I want. 

Here goes. 

For a normal cake, which can happily be modified by adding peaches and plums on top and sprinkling powdered sugar.

Wet ingredients:

Butter/oil: 1/8 cup

Sugar: 1/4 cup (I would ideally go for slightly less than 1/4 cup. Something between 1/8 cup and 1/4 cup)

Eggs: 1

Flour: 1/4 cup

Vanilla essence: few drops or 1/4 lid

Dry ingredients

Flour: 1/4 cup

Salt: a pinch

Baking powder: 1/4 tsp

Cream the wet ingredients thoroughly. Then sift the dry ingredients thoroughly. Combine then all. Bake at 175 degrees for about 25 minutes. 

This will give you a cake that roughly looks like this. (Though this is an oat cake)
