How to make Nesquik Cake
Prepare the Batter
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and salt. Beat until the mixture becomes pale and almost white.
- Step 2
Add the sunflower oil and continue beating until fully incorporated.
- Step 3
Add the milk and yogurt, beating continuously until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 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
- Step 1
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar until it reaches a soft whipped cream consistency.
- Step 2
Slice the sponge cake in half horizontally and fill it with the whipped cream.
- Step 3
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar or icing sugar before serving.

Tips & Tricks
Use a yogurt container as a measuring tool for consistent proportions.
Ensure the cake is completely cooled before slicing it to avoid crumbling.
For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
If you prefer a firmer whipped cream, chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream.
