Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup grated radishes
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by greasing and flouring it.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Gently fold the grated radishes into the batter until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Pour the batter into the prepped cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's tip

Use fresh radishes to ensure the best flavor. Avoid over-mixing once the radishes are added to keep the cake tender.
