Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups (225 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 ½ tsp baking powder; ½ tsp salt; 6 eggs, at room temperature; 1 cup (210 g) sugar; 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla; 6 tbsp (90 ml) vegetable oil; 1 can (354 ml) unsweetened evaporated milk; 1 can (300 ml) sweetened condensed milk; ½ cup (125 ml) milk; 1 cup (250 ml) 35% whipping cream; ¼ cup (55 g) sugar; 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla; 1 cup (250 ml) 5% plain Greek yogurt; ⅔ cup (180 ml) dulce de leche; ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Preparation

Cake
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) glass baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until the mixture is pale, tripled in volume and falls from the beaters in a ribbon, about 10 minutes. With the machine running on low speed, gradually drizzle in the oil. Delicately fold in the dry ingredients using a whisk. Spread the mixture out in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Using a toothpick or bamboo skewer, make several dozen small holes in the cake.
Milk Syrup
- In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients. To soak the cake uniformly, gradually pour some of the milk mixture over the centre of the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let the cake soak up all the liquid before pouring repeating this step. Then pour the remaining milk mixture over the entire surface of the cake. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Assembly
- In a bowl, whisk the 35% cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold in the yogurt using a spatula. Add the dulce de leche. Delicately fold in with the spatula just enough to create a marbled effect. Spread the yogurt mixture over the chilled cake. Sprinkle with the cinnamon. The cake will keep for 1 day in the refrigerator.
