Ingredients: simple, total time: 80 min.

Dressing:

Caramel Topping:

Preparation:

Separate the egg whites from the yolks into two bowls. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become frothy.
Once a foamy consistency is achieved, gradually add vanilla and granulated sugar, stirring continuously.
As the mixture thickens, incorporate the egg yolks, baking powder, flour, and semolina one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Prepare a baking tray by greasing it and lining it with baking paper. Pour in the mixture and spread it evenly.
Bake at 220 °C for approximately 30 minutes.
Once baked, invert the cake onto a clean, dry cloth and pierce it with a toothpick to facilitate milk absorption.
In a large saucepan, combine 300 ml of milk, milk powder, and sweet cream, whisking thoroughly.
Pour the prepared liquid into the pan, then carefully place the cake on top.
Prick the cake again with a toothpick, then pour 200 milliliters of milk over it.
In a deep saucepan, heat sugar over medium temperature, stirring in a circular motion until it melts, without using a spoon.
In a separate pan, heat the sweet cream until it reaches a boil, then set aside.
Once the sugar turns caramel-colored, remove the saucepan from the heat and slowly pour in the heated sweet cream, whisking continuously.
Add butter and a pinch of salt, mixing well, then pour the caramel over the cake.
After the caramel cools slightly, use a toothpick to create decorative leaf shapes.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to cool.
Slice the cake into cubes and serve.
