Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
In a separate mixing basin, beat eggs, then whisk in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract
Gently stir wet ingredients into dry mixture until just combined (batter will be thick and lumpy)
Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the surface
Place the pan inside an 11×15-inch roasting pan
Pour boiling water into the roasting pan to a depth of 1/2 inch
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes
Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 portions
Notes
Vegetable oil can be substituted with melted halal-approved oil like canola or corn oil
For best separation, do not overmix the batter
Using room temperature eggs ensures even custard layer formation
Serve at room temperature for optimal texture
Cake will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days
