Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 100 gm All-Purpose Flour
- 4 tsp Barley Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1 pinch Nutmeg ground
Wet Ingredients
- 100 gm Butter softened, unsalted
- 100 gm Sugar granulated
- 100 ml Cream fresh
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Other
- 100 gm Pearled Barley cooked according to package directions
- 2 Large Eggs
Instructions
Prepare the Barley
- First, cook 100g of pearled barley according to package directions. This usually involves rinsing, simmering in water for about 40-45 minutes, until tender.
Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, barley flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the cooked barley.
Bake the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, garnish with fresh cream and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Barley Cake
- For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
- If you don't have barley flour, you can substitute it with an equal amount of oat flour or whole wheat flour. The flavor will be slightly different.
- To enhance the moistness of the cake, add a tablespoon of milk or buttermilk to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
