Featherlight Vanilla Cake (using a sandwich maker)
Featherlight Vanilla Cake (using a sandwich maker) is a quick cake recipe for tea time or dessert – delicious as is or drizzled with Chocolate Syrup !
Featherlight Vanilla Cake made in the sandwich maker in less than 15 minutes ! That is genius, don’t you think?
At first I thought, no ways, the batter will be all over the place, but it was not and all 12 pieces came out extremely light and totally delicious.
The prepping takes about 5 minutes, with ingredients you should have in your pantry. Each batch took 3 – 4 minutes, therefore only minutes later we had a delightful snack.
I found this recipe shared on Facebook and immediately clicked over to the original site, which you can find HERE

Featherlight Vanilla Cake (using a sandwich maker)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour
- 1 t Baking Powder
- ½ cup Vegetable Oil
- ½ cup Caster Sugar
- 2 Extra-Large Eggs
- 1 t Vanilla Essence
- Icing Sugar to dust (optional)
Instructions
- Spray the sandwich maker top and bottom with cooking oil – Depending on how long your sandwich maker takes to heat up – you can switch it on now
- Sift together the Flour and Baking Powder – set aside
- Beat the Oil and Caster Sugar together until creamy – add the Eggs and Vanilla – beat another minute or two until well combined
- Fold in the Flour to the Oil mixture
- Fill each triangle of your sandwich maker, but do not let it overflow – close and check after 3 minutes, if a toothpick comes out clean, it is ready – remove and let cool slightly on a cooling rack – dust with Icing Sugar if you prefer
Cool a little, dust with Icing Sugar as soon as possible.
Best served warm – you can make it ahead of time and re-heat in the microwave for a few seconds.
I am most definitely going to experiment with flavors and above all with chocolate chips …mm, and maybe drizzled Icing or Chocolate over ??

Lovely Linda! I tried it and came out perfectly. A very innovative recipe I must say. Kiddo is absolutely loving it! Thanks a ton!
Is this the thickness of a cake batter as it has eggs and oil and lots of flavors? Would love to hear if anyone has tried that. What is that sugar you used? And where do you get it? The cakes look wonderful and would love to try them your way. Thanks for sharing.
Rhonda, this specific recipe's batter is a little thinner than plain cake batter, which of course also works just fine in the sandwich maker. Caster Sugar is finer than granulated sugar, but not as fine as powdered sugar {icing sugar} – I get ours in SA, in the store's baking aisle – replying here as your e-mail is not attached to your comment 🙂 Also see this recipe : http://www.withablast.net/2015/04/oreo-cake-triangles-sandwich-maker.html
Wander if you can use regular cake mix ??? I was also thinking about just using the waffle iron and putting them on little plates for kids to decorate their own. Great Ideas glad I found this site.

I love recipes where you have to think outside the box, and sandwich maker recipes are some of my favorites! I am totally going to try this!!!
I am also featuring you at tomorrow's (Wednesday's) Super Link Party! Thanks for linking!
that is really cook. I wonder if it would work on my waffle iron. My mind is spinning with the possibilities. Thanks for sharing on Thursdays Treasures.
It looks so delicious!!
Great post!! I included it in my post Βόλτα στη Γειτονιά #21 🙂
Have a great week!!
Now that is creative! I would think the batter would be all over also. I like it. It would be a good base for strawberry shortcake maybe. It's so cute, too. Take care, Linda
What a great idea, Linda. This would be a lot of fun! Hope you are having a great weekend and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

Ok genius!! LOVE this idea! Now I know what to do with that wedding present that has been collecting dust … lol
This is pretty brilliant! Especially for my kids, who can 'cook' without using the oven!
Hi Linda! Yours look great and you can make many variations of this basic recipe. Thanks for trying out the recipe and linking back 🙂

I wish I'd kept my sandwich maker…I may need to look for one again. What a great idea.
Totally genius! Now I need to find a sandwich maker!! I wonder if these could be used like shortcakes for strawberry shortcake? Do you have that there?
That's an awesome idea, portion control and great for Summer when you dont want the oven on!
