Instructions
Step 1
To start, combine milk and butter in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts. Then set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Whip them on high speed with a mixer until the mixture increases in volume by threefold.
Next, add the lime juice and zest to the egg mixture. Carefully sift the flour and a pinch of baking powder into the mixture and fold gently using a spatula.
Bring the milk to a boil and then gradually mix it into the batter, ensuring it’s well combined. Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25-30 minutes. Once baked, allow the biscuit to cool completely before cutting it into cubes.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine all the syrup ingredients: sugar, water, and lemon juice. Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil.
Once boiling, remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine sour cream and powdered sugar. Whip the mixture until it reaches stiff peaks.
If desired, you can add a stabilizer to the sour cream, which is readily available in stores. For best results, you may choose to let the sour cream sit in the fridge overnight to thicken further.
Step 4
Line a deep bowl with plastic wrap. Arrange your chosen berries and fruits on the bottom and sides of the bowl.
Spread a layer of cream over the fruits, then dip the biscuit cubes into the cooled syrup, ensuring they are well soaked, and layer them on top of the cream.
Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the assembled cake for 2-3 hours before serving.
Servings
When it comes to serving your **Summer Pincho Cake** 🍰, the options are delightful! For a refreshing twist, pair each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The cool cream complements the citrusy cake perfectly, making every bite a summer memory. 🌞
For an extra dash of fun, sprinkle some fresh berries on top! Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries not only enhance the flavor but also add a pop of color that’s sure to impress your guests at any outdoor barbecue or picnic. 🥳🍓
For a more elegant presentation, consider serving the cake with a side of citrus-infused syrup. Drizzling this over the top will give an irresistible shine and an extra zesty kick! 💦
Equipment
Opt for medium to large-sized mixing bowls to accommodate all the batter and cream. Glass or stainless steel bowls are preferred for easy cleaning.
A hand mixer or stand mixer will ensure your eggs and sugar are whipped to perfection, creating a light, fluffy texture.
Perfect for folding the dry ingredients into the egg mixture without deflating it. Choose a sturdy but flexible spatula.
A round or square baking pan of 8 or 9 inches will work well. Ensure it’s greased and lined for easy extraction of the cake.

Variations
If you're looking for a **gluten-free** version of this delightful cake, simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend that measures the same. Also, ensure that your baking powder is gluten-free!
For those following a **vegan** lifestyle, you can substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water = 1 egg) and use a plant-based milk instead of cow's milk. Additionally, use vegan butter or coconut oil instead of regular butter and coconut cream for the frosting to create a delicious, dairy-free treat! 🥥
Faq
- How can I tell when my sponge is done baking?
The sponge is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top springs back when lightly pressed.
- What can I use if I don’t have a hand mixer?
You can whisk the egg and sugar mixture by hand, but it may take longer and require a bit more elbow grease!
- How can I ensure my cake stays moist?
Make sure to soak the sponge well with the syrup and store it covered in the fridge until serving. A nice, icy chill helps the flavors meld beautifully.
- Can I add other flavors to the cream?
Absolutely! You can mix in some lemon zest or a few drops of vanilla extract for a twist. Just make sure to adjust the sweetness accordingly.
- What should I do if my cake comes out too dense?
If your cake turns out dense, it’s likely due to overmixing. Ensure you mix just until combined and no flour streaks remain.
- How can I decorate my cake for a special occasion?
You can use edible flowers, extra fruits, or even make a colorful glaze for a stunning finish. Just let your creativity shine!
