280 g powdered milk

10 g (about 2 tsp) baking powder

Optional: 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla essence

Blender or hand whisk

Butter + extra powdered milk (for greasing)
Preparation Method
1. Beat the Eggs
-
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
-
Beat them vigorously using a whisk or blender until the mixture is pale and foamy. This step introduces air and is crucial for the cake’s fluffiness.
✅ Tip: Beat for at least 5 minutes until the mixture lightens in color and begins to form a soft foam.
2. Add the Powdered Milk
-
Gradually add the powdered milk while continuing to whisk or blend.
-
Mix until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth with no lumps.
✅ Powdered milk gives structure and sweetness without the need for flour or sugar.
3. Add Vanilla (Optional)
-
Add the vanilla essence and mix to combine.
-
This step adds a lovely aroma and rounder flavor, though it’s entirely optional.
4. Add the Baking Powder
-
Gently fold in the baking powder using a spatula.
-
Stir with upward, circular motions to keep the air in the batter.
5. Prepare the Pan & Bake
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Grease your ring mold with butter and sprinkle with powdered milk, or line with parchment paper.
-
Pour the batter into the pan and tap lightly to level the top.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve
-
Allow the cake to cool for 10–15 minutes before unmolding.
-
Serve as is or with coffee or tea for a perfect light snack.
Extra Tips
-
For dairy-free: Use coconut milk powder, oat milk powder, or any other plant-based powdered milk.
-
To add flavor: A pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest can complement the vanilla well.
-
Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for 5 days.
