Cotton Cake: A Delightful Treat for the Whole Family!
here’s something irresistibly comforting about cotton cake—a cake that’s as light as a cloud and as delightful as the sweetest childhood memory. This family recipe brings a wave of nostalgia and sweetness that can brighten any day.
Ingredients
- 4 egg whites
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 box of condensed milk
- 2 cups of cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare Your Equipment: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and greasing a cake pan, then dusting it with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form firm peaks. This is the secret to achieving that light, fluffy texture that cotton cake is known for!
- Mix the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, condensed milk, and cornstarch. Beat until you achieve a smooth, light, and homogeneous cream.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Be careful to fold from the bottom upwards to maintain that airy texture.
- Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is lightly golden.
- Test for Doneness: Perform the toothpick test—insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready!
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before removing it from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar or add your favorite topping before serving.
