Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix together the Wesson oil, sugar, eggs, milk, self-rising flour, and vanilla until well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter instead of Wesson oil. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder added. Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing. Don't overmix once the flour is added to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this pudding and sauce cake warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a delightful contrast, serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce. It also complements a cup of coffee or tea perfectly.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you prefer, you can refrigerate it for a week. To reheat, microwave individual slices for about 20-30 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of oil?
Yes, you can substitute Wesson oil with another neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil. However, using butter will provide a different flavor profile that many find appealing.
What can I do if my cake is too dense?
If your cake turns out dense, it might be due to overmixing the batter. Be sure to mix just until combined after adding the flour. Also, check your baking powder's freshness, as old ingredients can affect the rise.
How can I enhance the flavor of the cake?
You can enhance the flavor by adding spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg, or incorporating citrus zest, like lemon or orange, into the batter. A splash of almond extract can also add a unique twist.
