Could you help me with a cake recipe?

I do not have custard powder that the recipe calls for, could i substitute something else for it?


(I'm not going to the store in this storm just to get custard powder and no i will not put off making this cake another day)





I also think, brown sugar is only added for the sweetness and 1 tbsp of honey is not going to give much of a taste to the cake.





So i want to omit the brown sugar, how much honey would you suggest i substitute in order to get the right balance of flavour and sweetness?





Here is the recipe:





Steamed Honey Sponge Cake





1.All purpose flour 鈥?150 gms


Custard powder 鈥?1 tbsp


Bicarbonate of soda 鈥?1 tsp


Baking powder 鈥?1 tsp


2.Butter 鈥?50gm, softened


3.Light brown sugar 鈥?150 gm


4.Oil 鈥?1/3 cup


5.Honey 鈥?1 tbsp


Vanilla essence 鈥?1 tsp


6.Eggs 鈥?3Could you help me with a cake recipe?
Say put in maybe four times the amount of honey the recipe calls for , also, if you have any, try 1 extra teaspoon vanilla, you can add that to 1 tbsp cornstarch, or even alternatively 1 tbsp of flour. If you want additional flavor, try almond extract.Could you help me with a cake recipe?
I'm sorry, I'm not too familiar with ';custard powder';, its not a very common item where I'm from in the States. Vanilla essence, i'm gonna guess you're probably in the caribbean, right?





But as for the sweetener, you can substitute brown sugar and honey tablespoon for tablespoon, and it'll be about the same.





I hope this helps a bit, and sorry again about the custard powder.
Well, if custard is made of what I think it is, wouldn't be a mix of dried milk, cornstarch, and sugar? I don't know what proportions, unfortunately.
the best way 2 do this is:-


go 2 shop


buy cake


buy custard
