🥚 Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3 large eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 8 g vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 100 ml warm milk
- 1 tbsp instant coffee (dissolved in the milk)
- 180 g all-purpose flour
- 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 15 g baking powder (about 1 tbsp)
- 120 g sugar
- 100 ml vegetable oil (or melted butter)
For the Cream Filling:
- 200 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 200 g sweetened condensed milk (or caramelized condensed milk for richer taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
🍰 Instructions
1. Make the Cake:
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
- Add the oil (or melted butter) gradually while mixing.
- Stir in the warm milk mixed with instant coffee.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth.
- Pour into a greased and lined rectangular baking tray.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely, then slice it horizontally into two equal layers.
2. Prepare the Cream Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and pale.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk gradually while mixing until you get a smooth, fluffy cream.
- Mix in vanilla extract.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a tray. Spread the cream evenly on top.
- Place the second cake layer over the cream.
- Cut into squares or rectangles.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, use dulce de leche (caramelized condensed milk) instead of regular condensed milk in the cream.
- You can refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes before cutting — this makes cleaner slices.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
