Ingredients:

4 eggs, separated

1 cup of granulated sugar

1/2 cup of milk

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup of rum or tequila

1/2 cup of condensed milk

1/2 cup of evaporated milk

1 cup of heavy cream

1/4 cup of powdered sugar

Preparation:

Step 1: Mixing the Cake Batter

In your Thermomix, place the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Mix on speed 4 for 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and pale yellow in color.

Add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on speed 3 for 1 minute until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the Thermomix while mixing on speed 2 for 2 minutes until a smooth batter forms.

Step 2: Baking the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Preparing the Drunken Soaking Syrup

In a small saucepan, heat the rum or tequila over low heat until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the condensed milk and evaporated milk until well combined.

Step 4: Soaking the Cake

Using a toothpick or skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake. Slowly pour the drunken soaking syrup over the cake, allowing it to absorb into the holes. Continue pouring until all the syrup is used.

Cover the soaked cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 5: Whipped Cream Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Step 6: Assembling the Cake

Once the soaked cake has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake using a spatula.

For an extra touch, you can garnish the cake with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Now, slice and serve this delightful Guadalajara Drunken Sponge Cake to your eager guests. They will be blown away by the moistness and the boozy kick of this amazing dessert. Enjoy!
