  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (162 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 20 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 15 g Sugar
  • 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 40 g Milk, whole
  • 30 g Evaporated milk
  • 25 g Sweetened condensed milk

Method

  1. Whisk the egg and sugar until pale and fluffy, then fold in the flour, baking powder and vanilla to make a light sponge batter.
  2. Pour into a small greased baking dish and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20-25 minutes until a skewer comes out clean; let cool completely.
  3. Whisk together the whole milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk.
