Original steps

1. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
2. Beat the egg whites thoroughly after adding 3 teaspoons of water.
3. Whisk the yolks well in a bowl, then add them to the beaten whites in a mixer along with the sugar, beating the mixture well until the sugar dissolves.
4. Mix the flour with the baking powder and add it gradually to the mixture, alternating with the milk until all ingredients are incorporated.
5. Grease the pan with ghee and lightly dust with flour, then pour the cake batter into it and bake in a medium-heat oven until done.
6. Once removed from the oven, let it cool, then cut it in half using a long knife.
7. Moisten the first half with a little sugar-sweetened milk, fruit syrup, or lemon-lime soda, making small holes with a fork so the liquid penetrates without collapsing the cake.
8. Pour the cream over the first half of the cake, let it cool, then arrange the chopped fruit on top.
9. Place the second half of the cake on top and lightly pierce the surface to soak it with any type of liquid.
10. Prepare white whipped cream or add cocoa to make it chocolate-colored, then spread it evenly over the surface of the cake.
11. Garnish to taste with either finely chopped chocolate, nuts, or more fruit.
