A classic Mexican dessert, this cake is a sponge cake soaked with three different kinds of milk: heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk. It's finished with meringue and decorated with cherries. In this recipe, the three milks are mixed with dulce de leche.

Steps

75 minutes

1

In a bowl, combine the flour, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and sugar. Mix well until there are no lumps.
2

Bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and poke holes all over the surface with a fork.
3

Blend the three milks and the dulce de leche in a blender. Pour the mixture over the cake while it is still hot so it absorbs the milk and stays moist.
4

Refrigerate for about 4 hours, then remove from the pan and decorate as you like. Top with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles.

Some people like to add a bit of liqueur. I don't, but if you want to, use a little coffee liqueur.
