This cake turns out delicious and fluffy, and the three milks sauce gives it a moist touch. It's perfect for any occasion; I made it for Easter.

Steps

1

For best results, use eggs straight from the fridge so the whites whip up more easily.
2

CAKE: Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the egg whites with half the sugar until stiff peaks form, then set aside. Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and creamy, then add the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and milk, and mix well. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites, a little at a time.
3

Sift the flour. Gradually add the flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder to the mixture, folding gently to combine.
4

Grease or line your baking pan with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 30-35 minutes. Let the cake cool before adding the three milks sauce.
5

THREE MILKS SAUCE: Mix 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Poke holes in the cake with a knife, then spoon the sauce over the cake so it absorbs well. Refrigerate the cake for 4-5 hours.
6

TOPPING: Heat 1/3 cup (70 ml) heavy cream and add 2.5 oz (75 grams) dark chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is completely melted. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the fridge and add 3/4 cup (200 ml) heavy cream. Whip the cream and spread it over the cake. Decorate with chocolate shavings, mini marshmallows, and chocolate eggs.
7

The cake will be fluffy and moist inside. You can double the amount of three milks sauce if you want it even more moist.
