This traditional Latin American dessert is rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious. It starts with a sponge cake that gets much of its lift and airy texture from beaten egg whites. Because it’s a sponge cake, it’s able to hold lots of moisture without falling apart. Good thing, because the cake is soaked in a mixture of three milks: evaporated, almond, and sweetened condensed.
