Cuatro leches cake

SERVES 8-10

4 free-range eggs, separated

200g (7oz) caster sugar

1tsp vanilla extract

200g (7oz) plain flour

1tsp baking powder

100ml (3½fl oz) Trewithen Dairy Whole Milk

200ml (7fl oz) evaporated milk

200g (7oz) Trewithen Dairy

Cornish Clotted Cream

200ml (7fl oz) sweetened condensed milk

300ml (10½fl oz) double cream

2tbsp ground cinnamon

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4 and lightly grease and line a 20cm (8in) square cake in.

2 Whisk the egg whites until thickened, before slowly adding half of the caster sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue whisking until the mixture is stiff and glossy.

3 In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks and gently fold together until thoroughly combined.

4 Using a large metal spoon, add a spoonful of egg whites to the yolk mixture. Combine thoroughly, before very gently folding the remaining egg whites through, one spoonful at a time, aiming to retain as many of those lovely bubbles as possible.

5 Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 40 minutes, until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin.

6 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the evaporated milk, clotted cream and condensed milk.

7 Poke holes all over the cake, before pouring over half the milky cream mixture. When the majority of the mixture has absorbed into the sponge, pour over a little more. Any remaining sauce can be served on the side. Refrigerate overnight if you can, although it’ll still be delicious if you don’t have time.

8 To serve, whip the remaining cream until it just holds soft peaks. Spread over the top of the cake before finishing with a generous dusting of cinnamon. Serve with the sauce on the side to pour over.
