I was shown this recipe by a local in the middle of the Bolivian Jungle while I was working in a animal rehab centre. Dona Lourdes would make this on special occasions such as birthdays and father's day. It is simple & uses basic ingredients as it is difficult to get fresh ingredients where we were situated.

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius
- Grease a large cake tin or two medium sized
- Sift flour
- Beat eggs well until light and fluffy
- Add sugar & butter to eggs & beat a little more.
- Add vanilla and milk & beat once more
- Add flour & fold into mixture
- Lastly add the baking soda and combine.
- Cook in preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes.
- Once cooled cover with chocolate or for a traditional Bolivian style:
- Beat egg whites together until almost stiff, add sugar and a squeeze of lemon and continue beating until stiff. Pour over cake. They are never precise with measurements where I was so you have to make it up as you go with this topping.
