Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F). Grease a 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 in) baking dish with butter.

2. 2

   Sift the flour together with the baking powder and salt.

3. 3

   Separate the eggs, putting the yolks in a large bowl and the whites in a clean, grease-free one.

4. 4

   Beat the yolks with 150 g of the sugar until thick and pale, about 2 min. Stir in the 80 ml milk and 1 tsp of the vanilla.

5. 5

   Whisk the whites to soft peaks. Add the remaining 50 g sugar a little at a time and whisk until stiff and glossy, about 1 min more.

6. 6

   Gently fold the flour mixture into the yolks with a spatula, then fold in the whites in three additions, keeping as much air as possible.

7. 7

   Spread the batter in the dish and bake until golden and a skewer in the center comes out clean, 30-35 min.

8. 8

   Let the cake cool completely in the dish, about 1 hour.

9. 9

   Whisk the evaporated milk, condensed milk and the 120 ml milk together in a jug.

10. 10

    Prick the cake all over with a fork, right into the corners.

11. 11

    Pour the milk mixture slowly over the cake, pausing so it can soak in, until all of it is absorbed.

12. 12

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.

13. 13

    Whip the cold cream with 2 tbsp sugar and the remaining vanilla until it holds soft, spreadable peaks.

14. 14

    Spread the cream over the cake, dust lightly with cinnamon and serve cold, cut into squares.
