Sure! Here’s a recipe for a delicious Condensed Milk Castella Cake:
### Ingredients:
– 5 large eggs, at room temperature
– 100 ml (1/2 cup) sweetened condensed milk
– 70 ml (1/3 cup) whole milk
– 100 g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
– 100 g (3/4 cup) cake flour, sifted
– 60 g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/4 tsp salt
### Instructions:
1. **Preparation:**
– Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
– Line a 7-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Ensure the parchment paper extends above the sides of the pan to help remove the cake later.
2. **Mix Wet Ingredients:**
– In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.
3. **Beat Eggs and Sugar:**
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and triples in volume (about 5-7 minutes).
4. **Combine Mixtures:**
– Gradually add the condensed milk mixture to the beaten eggs, folding gently with a spatula to maintain the airiness of the batter.
5. **Add Dry Ingredients:**
– Sift the cake flour and salt over the batter in three additions, gently folding each addition in with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. **Bake:**
– Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
– Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any large air bubbles.
– Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. **Cool and Serve:**
– Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
– Carefully lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
– Slice the cake into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
### Tips:
– Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
– Fold the batter gently to keep it airy and light.
– You can store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Enjoy your Condensed Milk Castella Cake!
