How to make Nesquik Cake

Prepare the Batter

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and salt. Beat until the mixture becomes pale and almost white.

  2. Step 2

    Add the sunflower oil and continue beating until fully incorporated.

  3. Step 3

    Add the milk and yogurt, beating continuously until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream.

  4. Step 4

    In a separate container, sift the cornstarch and self-rising flour. Gradually add this to the previous mixture, folding gently with a spatula using smooth, circular motions.

  5. Step 5

    Gently fold in the Nesquik. Once everything is well combined, pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan, 23 to 25 cm in diameter.

Bake the Cake

  1. Step 1

    Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the sponge cake from the oven and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.

Prepare the Filling and Assemble

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until it reaches a soft whipped cream consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the sponge cake in half horizontally and fill it with the whipped cream.

  3. Step 3

    Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or icing sugar before serving.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Use a yogurt container as a measuring tool for consistent proportions.

  2. Ensure the cake is completely cooled before slicing it to avoid crumbling.

  3. For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

  4. If you prefer a firmer whipped cream, chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different chocolate powder instead of Nesquik?

    Yes, you can substitute Nesquik with another chocolate powder, but it may alter the sweetness and flavor slightly.

  2. Can I use butter instead of sunflower oil?

    Yes, you can use melted butter, but sunflower oil makes the cake lighter and healthier.

  3. How do I store the Nesquik cake?

    Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  4. Can I make this cake gluten-free?

    You can try substituting the self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend, but the texture may vary.

  5. What can I use instead of heavy cream for the filling?

    You can use whipped coconut cream or a dairy-free whipped topping as an alternative.
