Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon anise extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, water, eggs, and anise extract until well combined.
Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, it is ready to be served. You can dust it with powdered sugar or serve it as is. The anise flavor pairs well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. Enjoy!
