Directions
-
Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until smooth, pale, and slightly frothy. This step is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture that defines the cake.
-
Add condensed milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until the mixture is cohesive and glossy. This indicates that the ingredients have been fully incorporated, creating a tremendous base for the cake.
-
Fold in the flour: Sift the flour and baking powder into the batter. Gently fold in with a spatula, mixing just until smooth. Over-mixing can lead to a dense crumb, which we want to avoid.
-
Prepare the pan: Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy release. Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with your spatula.
-
Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake for 30–35 minutes. The cake is ready when the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma that wafts through your kitchen during baking is simply tremendous.
