- Once cooked, use a fork to prick all over the top of the cake.
Syrop:
- Heat the milk and sugar until the sugar melts and it becomes very hot (don't boil).
- Pour it over the the top of the cake slowly so it soaks in all the syrop.

This is a delicious light and airy textured sponge cake. It tastes just like the ones I used to buy at a Portuguese bakery.
This Portuguese Maria biscuits with coffee cream cake (bolo de bolacha Maria com creme de café) is delicious and makes a great dessert.
