Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (170 C)

2. 2

   Oil round pans with butter or oil. Cover pan with parchment paper and oil again. This will make the unmold easier.

3. 3

   Beat the eggs and sugar in a medium bowl until fluffy (aprox. 4-5 min), stir in vanilla and beat well until smooth. Sift flour and baking powder three times. Add one-third of the dry ingredients to the batter, fold in well. Pour in the fresh milk and fold in the rest of the flour mix.

4. 4

   Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out cleanly. Let it rest for five minutes.

5. 5

   Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk and half & half. Remove sponges from pan and pierce surface all around with a fork or toothpick. Pour half of the milk mixture over one the warm cake slowly until absorbed, repeat with the second one. Let it rest until cool.

6. 6

   Place one sponge in a serving dish, add a layer of whipped cream and fruit of your choice. Place the second sponge on top. Refrigerate for a day.

7. 7

   Frost cake with whipping cream and garnish with fruit or edible flowers before serving. Enjoy!
