Now that we are fully immersed in the holiday season, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to recommend a dessert for you to enjoy with your loved ones during holiday dinners or meals.

This time, we had the great help of Andrés and Yeli from Doña Bárbara, a specialty coffee shop in A Coruña that combines quality coffee with a variety of homemade sweets. It’s undoubtedly our favorite in the city!

· 4 eggs

· 150 g sugar

· 1 small tablespoon vanilla essence

· 95 g all-purpose flour (sifted)

First of all, preheat the oven to 180ºC. Then, beat the eggs until they acquire a foamy texture and gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat.

Add the sifted flour and vanilla essence. Mix everything and pour the resulting batter into a mold.

Additional tip: You can add the zest of a lemon or orange to give the sponge cake a slight citrusy touch.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, and the sponge cake is ready!

· 410 g evaporated milk

· 370 g condensed milk

· 370 g heavy cream

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually add the sugar and salt until you get a consistent meringue.

Finally, cover the soaked sponge cake with the meringue and decorate it as you like. We created these Christmas-themed friends to showcase in the center of the table, but let your imagination soar!
