👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
💡 전문가 팁: Using parchment paper on the bottom can help with easy removal.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
💡 전문가 팁: Sifting the dry ingredients can ensure a lighter cake.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture, alternating with the 0.25 cup of milk, until just combined.
💡 전문가 팁: Do not overmix the batter.
4
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until no streaks remain.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the bowl and beaters are completely grease-free for optimal egg white volume.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
⏱️ 35 minutes
6
While the cake is baking, prepare the milk mixture: In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
💡 전문가 팁: You can add a splash of rum to the milk mixture for an extra layer of flavor, if desired.
7
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, using a fork or skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake.
💡 전문가 팁: Poking holes allows the milk mixture to penetrate the cake evenly.
8
Slowly and evenly pour the milk mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to absorb the liquid.
⏱️ 30 minutes
9
Prepare the frosting: In a bowl, cream together softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream if needed to reach desired consistency. Spread evenly over the chilled cake.
💡 전문가 팁: Alternatively, use a meringue frosting or simply dust with cinnamon.
10
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
⏱️ 2 hours
💡 전문가 팁: Chilling is essential for the flavors to meld and the cake to set.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better volume when whipping.
✓Don't overbake the cake, as it needs to be moist enough to absorb the milk mixture.
✓The longer the cake chills, the more flavorful and moist it will become.
✓For a truly authentic Dominican touch, consider using a meringue frosting (suspiro) instead of buttercream.
