  • Pour into a previously greased and floured cake pan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, unmold, and let cool.
  • In a small pot, heat the Leche LALA®, sugar, and cinnamon over medium heat, let reduce for 5 minutes, then remove and cool quickly.
  • Beat the vegetable shortening in a mixer and gradually add the powdered sugar. Remove and let rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Place the bread on the cake base, poke the entire bread with a fork, and gradually moisten it with the milk and sugar. Be careful not to over-soak.
