Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk (warm)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup melted butter

For Flavor:

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt

Optional Topping:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare batter base: In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light, pale, and slightly fluffy.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Mix in melted butter, warm milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Sift in flour and salt, then gently mix until a smooth, slightly thin batter forms.
  5. Pour batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake: Bake for 45–55 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is just set. The cake should have a slight custard-like jiggle inside.
  7. Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan.
  8. Slice & serve: Dust with powdered sugar and slice into thick pieces.

Tips, Notes & Q&A

  • Do not overbake; the center should remain soft and slightly creamy.
  • Use room-temperature eggs for better texture.
  • Let the cake cool fully to achieve clean slices.
  • For extra flavor, add lemon zest or a hint of almond extract.

Q: Why is the center creamy?
A: The batter ratio creates a custard-like texture while baking, giving a soft interior.

Q: Can I refrigerate it?
A: Yes, refrigerate for up to 3 days; it becomes even more custard-like when chilled.

Q: Can I freeze it?
A: Not recommended, as the creamy texture may change.

Q: Can I use gluten-free flour?
A: Yes, but texture may slightly differ.
