Ingredients
6 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup condensed milk
1 coffee spoon vanilla essence
2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup condensed milk
1 coffee spoon vanilla essence
2 cups self-raising flour
Where to find ingredients
Eggs and sugar are easily found in any local shop or market. For condensed milk, look in the baking or tinned goods section of supermarkets like Shoprite or Carrefour in Kampala. Self-raising flour is widely available, but if you only have all-purpose flour, you can make your own by sifting it with baking powder. Vanilla essence is typically found in the spice or baking aisle of larger grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs, sugar, condensed milk, and vanilla essence into your blender jug
- Whizz the mixture on high until you get a perfectly smooth batter
- 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 tin that has been greased and lightly dusted with flour
- Bake in a preheated oven at a moderate heat until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch
Observations
This is a convenient, no-fuss version for those who want a fluffy cake without the hassle of whipping egg whites by hand. It's the perfect treat to pair with your morning tea or coffee, or to serve as a light base for your favourite cream fillings.
