🍰 Step-by-Step Instructions (No Oven!)
1️⃣ Prepare Your Pan
Grease a round cake pan with oil or butter. Line the bottom with parchment paper if you have it.
2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl:
- Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix well.

- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
Gently fold until smooth—do NOT overmix.
4️⃣ Preheat Your Stovetop
Place a heavy pot or deep pan on the stove.
Put a metal stand, ring, or lid inside (to lift the cake pan off the bottom).
Cover and heat for 5 minutes on low.
5️⃣ Cook the Cake
Place your filled cake pan inside the preheated pot.
Cover with a lid.
Cook on LOW heat for 45–60 minutes.
(Do NOT open the lid for the first 30 minutes!)
6️⃣ Check for Doneness
Insert a toothpick or knife—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
The top should look fluffy, and the bottom golden brown.
7️⃣ Let it Cool
Flip gently onto a plate.
Your beautiful, tall stovetop cake is ready!
