It turns out there's some basic rules to make sure cakes have the right consistency. If the basic math is there, you can play around with the other ingredients. So, the rules are:
1. Sugar = flour. weight (not volume!) should be the same.
2. Eggs = fat (oil or butter). An egg weighs about 50 grams.
3. Eggs + liquid (milk) = sugar.
Also good to know: for every 140g flour (1 cup) use 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
