  8. Step 8/11

    Poke holes all over the surface of the cake using a skewer or fork. Then, while the milk is still warm, slowly pour it over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.

  9. Step 9/11

    Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least four hours, or ideally overnight, so that it can fully absorb the milk.

  10. Step 10/11

    To make the topping, whip the double cream and condensed milk in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
