Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (2 cups)
- Sugar (1 cup)
- Eggs (4)
- Butter (100 g)
- Baking powder (18 g)
- Baking soda (4 g)
- Salt (1 pinch)
- Condensed milk or cream (200 ml)
- Vanilla extract (10 ml)
Method
- First, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix well.
- Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the whites until foamy but not fully stiff, then set them aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the yolks well. Add the sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and condensed milk or cream and stir until the sugar dissolves. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture a little at a time through a fine sieve, stirring until evenly combined. Once well mixed, gently fold in the reserved egg-white foam. You can use an electric mixer for the earlier steps, but fold in the foam with a spatula at this stage.
- Grease the baking pan thoroughly with butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom, butter it, and place it in the pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C for 35–45 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the cake to test it; the cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean. Remove it from the oven, cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
