Instructions
  1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry, then mix just to combine. Lumps are fine!
  2. Spray a nonstick pan lightly with cooking spray, then preheat on low heat for 8 minutes. Spray metal cookie cutters/pancake mold generously with cooking spray, then place in pan. Scoop in pancake batter to fill mold until it reaches 1 cm away from top of mold. Add 1 tsp water, then cover and let steam for 15-20 minutes or until center no longer jiggles when pan is shaken. Carefully flip pancakes, then cover again and let steam for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove from pan, let cool slightly, and gently remove from mold! Decorate as desired 🙂

Mini Hello Kitty Cake in an Easy Bake Oven

March 14, 2017

Today we’re making a MINI Hello Kitty Cake using an Easy Bake Oven!

But what if I don’t have an Easy Bake Oven?

  • No worries! Here’s some options:
    • Bake the yellow cake recipe in a 4″ round cake pan. I would go for 350 F and about 8-10 minutes, but keep a close eye on it.
    • Bake the yellow cake recipe in a mini loaf pan. I would go for 350 F and about 8-10 minutes, but keep a close eye on it.
    • Make this a mug cake! Pour the batter into a microwave safe mug that’s been greased with cooking spray, then microwave for 2-3 minutes – you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on it though since I haven’t personally tried this method. Then let cool, remove from mug, cut into thin slices and then cut those thin slices with cookie cutters!
