Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC. Grease and line a 20cm springform cake tin.

2. Put the egg whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt, and beat with an electric hand whisk until foamy. Keep mixing while you add 150g of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until thick and glossy.

3. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla for 2 minutes, or until pale and foamy.

4. Add the flour, baking powder, and milk to the egg yolks and use a spatula to fold everything together.

5. Add a large spoonful of egg white to the cake mix, beat together to loosen the mixture, then gently fold through the remaining egg whites with a large metal spoon (being careful not to over-stir so you don't knock out too much air), until you have a smooth batter.

6. Pour into a 20cm tin, smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

7. Leave the cake to cool for 10 mins in the tin. Poke holes over the surface with a skewer.

8. Mix together the Nestle evaporated milk, Nestle condensed milk and 3 T of the Nestle dessert cream, then pour over half the milk mixture. Remove the cake from the tin and allow to cool completely. Reserve the remaining milk mix for serving

9. For the topping, whip cream to soft peaks and add cinnamon. Soften caramel treat and mix through cream. Top the cake with caramel cream and allow it to drip down the sides of the cake and sprinkle chopped aero chocolate over the top. Serve with extra evaporated milk mixture to drizzle over the sponge of your slices of cake if you wish.
