Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, sugar, milk, and eggs at any local kirana store or supermarket. For the 'leite condensado' (sweetened condensed milk), look for standard tins in the baking aisle of stores like Nature's Basket or BigBasket; it is a staple product widely available across India.
Preparation method
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C.
- Place the eggs, milk, leite condensado, sugar, margarine, flour, cornstarch, and baking powder into a blender and blend well until the mixture is smooth.
- Prepare a 22cm diameter baking tin by lightly greasing it with margarine.
- Pour only half of the batter into the tin and sprinkle the chopped chocolate evenly over it.
- Finish by covering everything with the remaining batter.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Remove from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, and carefully unmold to serve.
Observations
This is a remarkably convenient recipe, perfect for those who want a rich, tasty treat made quickly in a blender. Using leite condensado in the batter provides a unique, velvety texture and an extra touch of sweetness.
