With just powdered milk, eggs, and baking powder, you can make a delicious cake with minimal effort. It’s a great option when you want something homemade without spending a lot of time in the kitchen.
Recipe Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (200 g / 7.05 oz) powdered milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a cake pan with a little butter or cooking oil and set it aside.
2. Beat the eggs.
Crack the 4 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk, beat the eggs thoroughly for about 1–2 minutes, until they are smooth and slightly foamy. This helps incorporate air into the mixture and gives the cake a lighter texture.
3. Add the powdered milk.
Gradually add the powdered milk to the beaten eggs, stirring continuously. Keep mixing until all the ingredients are well incorporated and you have a smooth, thick batter without large lumps.
4. Add the baking powder.
Add the 2 tablespoons of baking powder and gently fold it into the batter with a spatula or spoon. Mix only until the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Avoid overmixing.
5. Transfer the batter to the pan.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to gently spread and level the surface so the cake bakes evenly.
6. Bake the cake.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is firm.
To check if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the cake is done.
7. Cool and serve.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5–10 minutes. Carefully remove it from the pan and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Now your homemade cake is ready to serve!
Enjoy this simple, soft, and delicious 3-ingredient cake with a cup of coffee or tea. It’s proof that you don’t need a long list of ingredients to make something delicious at home.
