Notes

Variation with cream cheese,

  • 1 package (8 oz.) of cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of milk

Beat the cream cheese, egg, sugar, and milk until a thick paste.
Place 1/3 of the cake mixture on the cake pan. Add half of the cream cheese mixture, another 1/3 of the batter, and the rest of the cream cheese, and finish with the mixture. With a knife, create some waves.
Bake for 60-65 minutes until golden brown, and when a stick is buried in the center, it comes out clean.
Allow cooling completely before unmolding, cutting, and serving.
