Ingredients
6 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups self-raising flour
Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local grocery store in Palau. Condensed milk is widely available in the canned goods aisle. If you can't find self-raising flour, you can make your own by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a true Brazilian touch, seek out imported Brazilian grocery items at specialty stores in Koror if you are looking for specific brands of vanilla essence or high-quality local eggs.
Preparation method
- Add the eggs, sugar, condensed milk, and vanilla essence into your blender
- Whiz everything together until you have a smooth, well-combined mixture
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the blender
- Pulse or mix gently just until the flour is fully incorporated into the batter
- Pour the mixture into a greased cake tin that has been dusted with a little flour
- Bake in a preheated oven at a moderate heat until the cake is golden and firm to the touch
