Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg (, white and yolk separated)
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon limoncello (*see notes)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 350° F (177° C). Lightly butter a 5x5-inch baking dish or use an oil cooking spray.
  • Mix flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium-sized bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg white until foamy. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and whip to soft peaks., about 3 minutes.What are soft peaks?: When you lift the beaters or balloon whisk out of the egg white, the peaks should be soft and will curl downwards and melt back into themselves almost immediately.
  • Beat in the egg yolk, then add half of the flour mixture followed by the milk, and finally the remaining flour. Blend well after each flour and milk addition.
  • Pour the batter into the baking dish.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly on a baking rack for 10 minutes.
  • Pierce the cake all over with the tines of a fork or a thick skewer.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and limoncello. Pour over the cake. Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 5 hours or overnight.
