Fluffy and Sweet Cotton Cake – A Family Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks, placing them in separate bowls.
2. Whip the Egg Whites
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Set aside.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and condensed milk until well combined and smooth.
4. Add the Cornstarch
Gradually add the cornstarch to the egg yolk and condensed milk mixture, whisking until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
5. Fold in the Egg Whites
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cornstarch mixture, careful not to deflate the fluffiness. Mix until fully combined, but the batter should remain light and airy.
6. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be lightly golden and firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Serve
Let the cotton cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve as-is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
