Cho~Cho Train Cake
Cho~~Cho~~All aboard for dessertland~~Cho~~Cho
Vanilla Train Cake
360g All purpose flour
300g Sugar (already reduced sugar by 150g)
2 tsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Salt
250g Butter – melted
250g Sour cream
4 Eggs
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
Methods:
- Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 180C. Grease the wells (Railway Cake Pan) and Gugelhupf pan and dust with flour.
- Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and mix well with a spatula.
- Whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until combined.
- Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and use a hand whisk to mix until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Divide the batter in half and set half aside. Spoon the batter evenly among the prepared wells. Tap the pan firmly on the counter top to release any air bubbles.
- To ensure good detail on the cakes, spread batter so it reaches the top edges of each well and is slightly lower in the centre of the well.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cake comes out clean, 18-22 mins.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 10 mins, then invert the cakes onto the rack and let completely cooled down before decorating.
I used the second half batter in a small Gugelhupf pan. Bake for about 40 mins.

Yummy: I always use plain flour as all purpose flour. If you want to use SR flour then don't add the baking powder and soda.
can all purpose flour be replaced with SR flour or plain flour?
thanks
