Milk Powder Soaked Cake (Bolo Alagado de Leite Ninho)

In a stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar with the vanilla extract for about 10 minutes until the mixture is very voluminous and fluffy.

Gently fold in the sifted all-purpose flour and hot milk, alternating between them. Start and end with the flour.

Add the baking powder to the batter and mix gently.

Pour the batter into a baking pan greased with butter and lightly dusted with all-purpose flour (approximate dimensions of 13x9x2 inches).

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 340°F (if electric, turn on top and bottom elements) or 350°F, for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

After unmolding and letting the cake cool slightly, prepare the sauce by mixing the sweetened condensed milk, powdered milk, heavy cream, and the three and a half cups of milk.

Place half of the prepared sauce in the same baking pan where the cake was baked.

Poke holes all over the surface of the cake and place it over the sauce in the pan, pressing lightly to ensure it absorbs the liquid well.

Pour the remaining sauce over the already moistened cake.

Cut the cake into desired serving sizes and finish by dusting extra powdered milk over the top before serving.
