Method

  1. 1 Separate the egg whites and whisk them with half the sugar for 5 minutes until stiff peaks form.
  2. 2 Beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar and vanilla, then gently mix in the flour and baking powder.
  3. 3 Gently mix the whipped egg whites into the mixture, then pour into the mold and bake at 175°C for 30 minutes.
  4. 4 Mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half the amount of fresh cream to create a three-part milk mixture.
  5. 5 Once the cake has cooled, prick the surface completely with a fork, slowly pour the milk mixture over it until it's soaked in, then refrigerate for 2 hours.
  6. 6 Whip the remaining fresh cream, spread it over the cake, and sprinkle with some cinnamon powder.
