When I was in India, we never had a baking oven. Since childhood, it was my dream to be able to bake some day. When I moved to the US, where almost every home has a baking oven, this was the first cake I baked - and to this day, it is my personal favorite.



Ingredients:

all-purpose flour - 2 cups
sweetened condensed milk - 1 can
butter - 1 stick (8 tbsp)
baking powder - 1 tsp
baking soda - 3/4 tsp
orange juice or soda - 3/4 cup
yogurt - 5 tbsp
vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). Sift flour with baking powder and baking soda. (I repeat this process 3 to 4 times). Set aside.

Blend condensed milk and butter with a hand mixer until well-blended. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until fluffy. Pour into a greased baking tray and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until skewer comes out clean. Serve warm with tea.

Notes:
Baking powder and baking soda need to be mixed thoroughly with flour.
