To prepare this delicious recipe, we start by separating the eggs from the other ingredients. We take a large bowl and add the four eggs along with the sugar. Using a mixer, we will beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla flavor until the mixture becomes frothy and doubles in volume. It is important to achieve an airy texture, as this will contribute to a fluffy and tasty cake.
After achieving the desired consistency, we gradually add the oil and milk, continuing to mix on low speed to well integrate the ingredients. These will add moisture and richness to the batter. Next, we sift together the flour and baking powder to eliminate any lumps and ensure an even distribution in the batter. We add the flour and baking powder to the egg and sugar mixture, mixing with a spatula or with the mixer on low speed until we obtain a homogeneous batter.
If the batter seems a bit softer than desired, do not hesitate to add a few tablespoons of flour. In my case, I decided to add two additional tablespoons of flour, which improved the consistency. Next, we prepare the cake pan, with a diameter of 22 cm. We can line it with parchment paper or alternatively, grease it with butter and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
We carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pan, leveling it evenly with a spatula. On top, we add spoonfuls of condensed milk cream, also known as dulce de leche, or any other preferred cream. This step will provide a special taste and an interesting texture to the cake.
We place the pan in the preheated oven at a temperature of 170-180 °C and bake the cake for about 40-45 minutes. It is recommended to do the toothpick test to check if it is baked inside. Once the cake is ready, we let it cool slightly, then remove it from the pan using the parchment paper or carefully, so as not to break it.
Before serving, it is time to add a touch of elegance. We decorate the cake with powdered sugar for an attractive appearance. This detail not only enhances the presentation but also adds a subtle sweetness. The cake is now ready to be enjoyed, offering each bite an explosion of flavor and a soft texture, perfect for sharing with loved ones.
