Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 ° C.
  2. Separate the eggs, beat the egg whites until stiff and let the sugar trickle in. Briefly stir in the egg yolks and then carefully fold in the sifted flour. Pour the dough into the greased pan (approx. 25 x 30 cm) and bake for approx. 30 minutes until golden brown.
  3. During this time, prepare the milk pouring. To do this, mix together the two types of condensed milk, cream, milk and vanilla sugar. The cream can also be completely replaced by milk.
  4. Take the cake out of the oven and prick it several times with a toothpick. Then immediately pour the milk pour over the hot cake. Let it soak for about an hour and then brush with the caramel for Trileçe. If you use caramel sauce, spread it on the cake just before serving, otherwise it will disappear in the cake. Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or even better for 24 hours.
  5. For info:
  6. The caramel used for Albanian Trileçe can be bought ready-made in the countries of origin. I`m still looking for a recipe or experimenting. The taste is not as sweet as caramel, the consistency is more like pudding, the color is very dark and clear, so not milky. As soon as I`ve found something, I`ll post a recipe for it.
