Mini Tin Can Birthday Cake
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, I used vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 15oz tin can with cooking spray and dust with flour, tapping to shake out any excess. cut out a round of parchment paper and place it in the bottom of the can.
- In a bowl, add egg white and sugar and whisk until combined. Add in vanilla and melted butter and stir until mixed. Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in milk. Pour batter into can.
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely, then invert cake and slide it out of the can. Slice the top off to level it (perfect for taste testing,) slice it into layers, and frost as desired.
Notes
*Some tin cans contain a possibly toxic coating called BPA. Most Organic Brands don't use it in their cans so I recommend buying a few to reuse for this purpose. I also think cleaning and scrubbing out a regular can is fine- whatever you're comfortable with!
