The easiest cake imaginable with very simple materials and super flavor that will make every sweet tooth happy!
I make it with wafers instead of sponge cake, to make it even easier for anyone who wants to make a homemade cake, but don’t have the time (or patience) to make the sponge cake!
I also use condensed milk which boil for 3 hours in order to make Dulce de leche, which is caramelized milk! Because it is a process that lasts several hours, I prefer to make a lot of boxes together in a saucepan, to use whatever I want for a recipe and the rest I store in the refrigerator for the next recipe!
