The first time I tried this cake was about ten years ago while on vacation in Mexico, at my grandmother’s house. It’s a well-known recipe in Mexico and in several other Latin American countries as well. We make it for special occasions, or for my father’s birthday when he’s feeling nostalgic for his homeland.
