Method

1. Mix the eggs with the sugar, oil, baking powder and powdered milk.
2. Add the water and stir to obtain a homogeneous but soft and not stiff batter.
3. Divide the Mabroosha cake batter into two parts; spread the first part in the cake or baking pan.
4. Place the pan in the oven until the first layer is cooked; when it turns pale golden, remove it from the oven and spread a layer of jam of any available type or to taste.
5. Add a little flour to the second part of the batter we set aside, then grate this portion of the dough over the jam layer to create the 'mabroosha' topping.
6. Place the Mabroosha cake pan with the jam in a preheated oven at 180°C until it turns golden; when it cools, cut as desired and serve.
