Ingredients
cooking spray
6 large eggs , at room temperature
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar
6 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups horchata
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
ground cinnamon, as needed
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Spray an 11×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
For cake, beat eggs until frothy in a large bowl. Gradually beat in white sugar; beat on high speed until very thick and lemon-colored, about 5 minutes. Beat in water and vanilla on low speed. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt, then beat until batter is smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 28 to 35 minutes. Cool for 1 hour on a wire rack.
Poke holes into the top of the cooled cake with a skewer. Pour horchata over cake. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Beat cream with confectioner’s sugar until it holds peaks. Spread over chilled cake. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
