4. 4In a separate bowl, add powdered sugar, boiled and cooled milk, refined sunflower oil, plain curd, and vanilla essence.
5. 5Whisk the wet ingredient mixture vigorously by hand for 1.5 to 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and all ingredients are smoothly combined.
6. 6Carefully pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl containing the sifted dry ingredients.
7. 7Gently fold the batter using the cut and fold method with a red silicone spatula until a smooth, lump-free batter with a flowing, ribbon-like consistency is achieved, avoiding overmixing.
8. 8Pour the prepared cake batter evenly into the parchment-lined loaf pan.
9. 9Swirl a toothpick through the batter in the tin to release large air bubbles and gently tap the tin a couple of times on the counter.
10. 10Preheat an OTG at 180°C for 10-15 minutes with both top and bottom heating rods on.
11. 11Reduce the oven temperature to 170°C, place the loaf pan on the middle rack, and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown with a characteristic crack on top.
12. 12Remove the baked cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely for at least 45 minutes to an hour while still in its tin, covered with a clean kitchen towel.
13. 13Once completely cooled, demould the cake from the tin, remove the parchment paper, and slice it into uniform, thick slices.
