Traditional Baked Egg Cake 古早味鸡蛋糕 - This old school egg cake recipe is simple. Basically just beat the eggs, mix together all the ingredients and bake. Everyone can learn and bake this at home.
Update: In June when I was back home for holiday, I have learnt some tips from my dad. Due to his health concern, he did not add oil in his baked egg cake but added some milk. I like the idea of that but I did not omit oil, I adjusted my old recipe (read the notes below) and it works beautifully.

Ingredients: Yield 8 servings
材料
2 Eggs 鸡蛋 2粒
70g Castor Sugar 细砂糖 70克
Pinch of Salt 盐 少许
70g Cake Flour 低粉 70克
1/2 tsp Baking Powder 发粉 1/2 小匙
1 tsp Vanilla Extract 香草精 1小匙
18g Oil 油 18克
1 tbsp Milk 牛奶 1汤匙
* Note:
- Previously, I used self raising flour / all purpose flour + 1/2 tsp baking powder but some of my readers were unable to achieve the soft texture. Therefore, I have revised the recipe, replaced the flour with cake flour + baking powder. This is more easy to handle. However, do not under beat or over beat the egg. That's is crucial to yield soft and light egg cake.
- I have received many queries about to add or not to add the condensed milk. To avoid confusion, I have removed it. It's actually optional to add condensed milk, you may just omit it.
- I have reduced the flour and sugar from 90g to 70g, added a tbsp of milk. Thanks to my dad who enlightened me on this.
- If your oven is the "very hot" type, preheat oven 160'C, reduce to 140'C when start baking, bake for 10 minutes. Reset temperature to 150'C, bake for 22-25 minutes.
喜欢比较湿润的蛋糕口感，可以用低温烘烤：以140度烘烤10分钟，转150度烘烤22-25分钟或至表面上色即可

After my baking lesson (taught by my dad LOL...).
This time, I reduced flour and sugar, added 1 tbsp of milk, soft and moist.
This is perfect for now. :)
