- 1 cup all-purpose flour (do not substitute with whole wheat)
- 1 cup sugar (adds sweetness)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (ensure it’s fresh)
- 1/4 tsp salt (balances sweetness)
- 5 large eggs (room temperature for better whipping)
- 1 cup milk (can use whole or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (provides sweetness)
- 1 can evaporated milk (adds richness)
- 1 cup whole milk (can substitute with coconut milk)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for a light topping)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (enhances flavors)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
