- [Authentic Recipe]
- Whip egg whites and sugar to stiff peaks, gently fold in egg yolks, flour, and baking powder. Bake a light, fluffy sponge cake and cool completely.
- Mix milk, heavy cream, and condensed milk (originally cow, sheep, and goat milk) to make a special milk syrup. Pierce the cake countless times with a fork, pour the syrup to the limit, and let it absorb overnight in the fridge.
- Caramelize sugar in a pot, add heavy cream and butter for homemade caramel sauce, and spread evenly over the milk-soaked cake.
