🛒 INGREDIENTS — 6 SIMPLE INGREDIENTS
For the cake:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional topping: powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a light dusting of cinnamon.
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease a medium baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Beat the eggs and sugar
Place the eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Beat for several minutes until the mixture becomes pale, light, and slightly fluffy.
This helps create a lighter cake.
3. Add the wet ingredients
Slowly add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until everything is well combined.
4. Add the flour
Gradually sift in the flour. Fold gently until the batter is smooth.
Avoid overmixing once the flour is incorporated.
5. Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for approximately 30–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
6. Cool
Let the cake cool for a few minutes before slicing.
For an especially creamy texture, refrigerate it for several hours before serving.
🥛 CREAMY MILK METHOD
The secret to this cake is keeping the texture soft and moist.
Don’t overbake it. The cake should be cooked through but still tender.
For an even creamier version, you can gently pour a little warm milk over the freshly baked cake and allow it to absorb before chilling.
This creates an incredibly soft, moist texture.
✨ FORMATION & TEXTURE
A perfect slice should have:
🤍 A soft interior
🥛 Rich milky flavor
🍰 A delicate crumb
✨ A lightly golden top
😋 A moist, creamy mouthfeel
The longer the cake rests in the refrigerator, the more the flavors have time to develop.
📖 A LITTLE HISTORY
Milk-based cakes have appeared in many culinary traditions because milk, eggs, flour, and sugar are simple ingredients that can be transformed into wonderfully rich desserts.
Different cultures have their own versions of moist milk cakes, from soaked sponge cakes to creamy puddings and custard-style desserts.
This simple homemade version celebrates the same idea: turning everyday ingredients into a comforting dessert.
💛 BENEFITS
This is a dessert, so it’s best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a health food.
The ingredients do provide nutrients: eggs and milk contribute protein, while milk and butter provide fats and other nutrients.
For a lighter version, you can reduce the sugar slightly or serve smaller portions with fresh fruit.
👩🍳 MY FAVORITE METHOD
For the best results:
✔️ Use room-temperature eggs.
✔️ Sift the flour before adding it.

🍓 SERVING IDEAS
Serve each slice with:
🍓 Fresh strawberries
🫐 Blueberries
🍌 Banana slices
🍦 Vanilla ice cream
🥛 Whipped cream
🍯 A drizzle of honey
A simple dusting of powdered sugar is also beautiful and delicious.
