Where to find ingredients
All ingredients for this recipe are easily found in common supermarkets. All-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, and cinnamon are basic grocery items. For the ground cinnamon, look in the spice and seasoning section. The sugar for dusting and cinnamon can be mixed in a shallow dish when coating the cakes.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs
- Add the sugar (1/2 cup) and milk (1 cup)
- Mix well with a whisk or fork until you have a smooth mixture
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour (2 and 1/2 cups), stirring continuously to incorporate and prevent lumps
- The batter should be creamy and slightly thick, falling slowly from the spoon
- Incorporate the baking powder (1 tablespoon) into the batter, stirring gently just until it is completely incorporated
- Do not overmix
- In a deep pot, heat a generous amount of vegetable oil over medium heat
- The oil should be enough for the cakes to be submerged
- Heat the oil until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F)
- To test, drop a small piece of batter into the hot oil
- If it bubbles and rises slowly, the oil is at the ideal temperature
- Use two spoons to shape small portions of the batter
- Carefully drop the batter portions into the hot oil, frying only a few cakes at a time to prevent the oil from cooling down and to ensure they brown evenly
- Fry the cakes until golden brown on all sides
- Flip them during the process, if necessary, for uniform color
- Remove the fried cakes with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil
- In a shallow dish, mix the sugar (1 cup) with the ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- Roll the still warm rain cakes in this sugar and cinnamon mixture
- Serve immediately and enjoy
