Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup neutral oil vegetable or canola
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 –3 tbsp water

Dry Ingredients:

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder

For the Milk Soak:

  • ¼ cup condensed milk
  • ¼ cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup thick milk whole milk or full-fat milk

For Garnishing:

  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries

Instructions
 

Beat the Eggs and Sugar:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and ⅓ cup granulated sugar until light and frothy.

Add the Oil:

  • Stir in ¼ cup of neutral oil to keep the cake moist.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:

  • Combine ⅔ cup all-purpose flour and ½ tsp baking powder in another bowl. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.

Add the Vanilla and Water:

  • Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2–3 tbsp water to thin the batter and enhance the flavor.

Prepare the Pan:

  • Lightly grease a 7-inch pan with oil or butter. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Cook the Cake:

  • Place the pan on the stovetop over medium flame. Cover with a lid and cook for 15–20 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Let It Cool:

  • Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Prepare the Milk Soak:

  • In a bowl, mix ¼ cup condensed milk, ¼ cup whipping cream, and 1 cup thick milk until smooth.

Soak the Cake:

  • Poke small holes across the top of the cooled cake using a fork. Pour the milk soak evenly over the cake and let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb.

Top and Serve:

  • Finish with whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries. Slice and serve!
