Condensed milk cotton cake: Recipe with 4 simple ingredients I learned from my great-grandmother

Recipe Ingredients:

• 4 egg whites
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk 
• 2 cups of cornstarch

Instructions:

First, beat the egg whites in a mixer until they become firm and double in volume. Then, set them aside.

Next, in the same bowl, beat the egg yolks, condensed milk, and cornstarch until you get a light and smooth cream. After that, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mixture, using a spatula and making upward movements to keep the batter airy.

Then, pour the batter into a greased and cornstarch-dusted baking dish. Afterward, place it in a preheated oven at 356 °F (180 °C) and bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until the surface turns lightly golden. To check if it is done, insert a toothpick into the cake—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

Tips:

• Add vanilla extract for a special touch.
• Strain the egg yolks to avoid a strong egg smell.
• Since this recipe doesn’t use baking powder, mix the egg whites carefully to maintain the batter’s lightness.
• Serve with red berries, ice cream, or whipped cream for an even more delightful version.
