Ingredients

• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 2 1/2 cups of sugar
• 3/4 cup of oil
• 7 eggs
• 3 cups of flour
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla

For the icing:

• 3 cups of powdered sugar
• 4 teaspoons of water
• 1 drop of pink food coloring (adjust as desired)
• Grageas (sprinkles)

Preparation

1. In a blender, combine the sugar, eggs, and oil. Blend until all the ingredients are well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder and flour. Give it a few sifts to ensure a smooth batter. Then, with the mixer turned off, add the flour mixture to the blender. This step helps prevent the flour from flying out of the bowl when you turn on the mixer again.
3. Add vanilla and milk to the blender. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Once the mixture is well beaten, pour it into a well-greased baking pan lined with waxed paper. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for approximately 25 minutes.
4. After removing the cake from the oven, let it cool.
5. In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, water, and a drop of pink food coloring. Mix until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
6. Spread the pink icing over the cooled cake. Add some colorful sprinkles (grageas) to make it even more appealing.
7. Finally, slice and serve the Cortadillos as desired. Enjoy this delightful Mexican Pink Cake with your loved ones!
