Trilece Albanian Dessert

Ingredients
  • 5 pieces egg
  • 250 g granulated sugar
  • 300 g flour
  • 12 g baking powder
  • 1 packet vanilla
  • 1 liter milk
  • 500 g milk cream
  • 150 g milk powder
  • 7 tablespoons caramel jelly or caramel sauce
Preparation
  1. First, separate the egg whites and yolks of 5 pieces into separate bowls. Beat the egg yolks well with a whisk. On the other hand, place the egg whites in a deep bowl. Add 250 g powdered sugar on top and beat with a mixer until it becomes like snow. Then, add the egg yolks to the mixture little by little and continue whisking.
  2. Then, in a large bowl, put 300 g flour, 12 g baking powder and 1 packet vanilla, and mix. Pour the beaten egg mixture over it. Using a spatula, mix from bottom to top in the same direction.
  3. Pour the cake mixture into a large square baking dish and smooth it with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes (Baking time may vary from oven to oven).
  4. In a deep pot, put 150 g milk powder, 1 liter milk, 500 g milk cream and half cup powdered sugar. Place the pot on the stove and warm the syrup by stirring. Then take it off the stove.
  5. Take the baked cake out of the oven and let it cool. Then, slice the cake into pieces using a knife. Slowly pour the syrup over the warm cake, letting it soak in. Let it wait in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so that the cake absorbs the syrup.
  6. On the other hand, put 7 tablespoons caramel sauce or caramel jelly into a bowl. Pour a small amount of water over it and bring it to a boza consistency. Pour the caramel sauce over the rested cake and spread it all over. In this way, let it rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours more.
