Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
4 large eggs
-
1 cup whole milk (divided: 1/2 for batter, 1/2 for soak)
-
1 cup heavy cream (for topping)
Optional Toppings (Not included in main ingredients):
-
Whipped cream or Cool Whip
-
Fresh berries or sliced fruits

Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish.
2. Mix the Batter
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes). Stir in 1/2 cup of milk.
Sift in the flour and baking powder. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Soak the Cake
While still warm, poke holes all over the cake using a fork or skewer. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup milk evenly over the cake. Let it soak and cool to room temperature.
5. Top with Cream
Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Spread evenly over the cooled cake.
6. Chill & Serve
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to allow flavors to develop. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Tips for Success

Use Room Temperature Eggs – For better volume when beating.
