Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 cup Sugar powdered
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk whole milk recommended, but you can use any kind
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil or melted unsalted butter for richer flavor
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Tutti Frutti or other mixed candied fruits

Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Sift the whole wheat flour into a large bowl. Add the powdered sugar, and then gently stir in the warm milk. Mix until just combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Incorporate the baking powder and baking soda into the flour mixture. Gently fold in the oil, vanilla extract, and a large egg. Mix until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Stir in the optional tutti frutti if desired.
Bake the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan (9x5 inch). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Check for Doneness and Cool
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Rustic Whole Wheat Cake
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough cake. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room-temperature milk and egg helps create a smoother batter and ensures even baking.
- Adjust Baking Time: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your cake and adjust baking time as needed. Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes.
- Creative Variations: Experiment with different add-ins like chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips to customize your cake.
