This is truly delicious. I was worried it might be too sweet, but it turned out to be a great way to use up a sponge cake that's starting to go stale.

Steps

10 minutes plus chilling time

1

First, prepare the sponge cake. Check out this recipe if you want to make it the same way I did: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/es/recetas/15749824-bizcocho-genoves?ref=you_tab_my_recipes
2

In a pitcher, combine all the milks (including the heavy cream) and mix well until fully blended.
3

Place the sponge cake in a pan that's slightly larger than the cake itself and line it with plastic wrap. This will help keep the liquid from leaking out.
4

Once the cake is in the pan, use a skewer or a chopstick to poke holes all over the surface. The more holes, the better.
5

Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it's well soaked.
6

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. If you can leave it overnight, even better—the cake will soak up more of the mixture.
7

Now it's time to enjoy! Since I'm not a fan of meringue, I like to top it with a bit of chocolate whipped cream, but you can use whatever you prefer. Enjoy!
