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:

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!
