Steps

1

Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2

Pour the mixture into a larger bowl and gently fold in the flour a little at a time. Add the milk and mix.
3

With the oven preheated to 320°F (160°C), pour the batter into two 8-inch (20 cm) round pans or all into one 12-inch (30 cm) round pan. Bake for 25 minutes at 320°F (160°C).
4

Remove the pans from the oven and let cool.
5

In a saucepan, heat the three milks together with the vanilla extract or another flavoring. Remove from heat just before it boils and let cool until warm.
6

Remove the cakes from the pans to prevent sticking, then return them to the pans and soak with the three milks mixture.
7

Place one cake layer on a serving platter, spread with the pastry cream filling, and place the second layer on top.
8

Cover the cake with whipped cream, either just on top or all over, and sprinkle with cinnamon. Decorate as desired.
