Ingredients
  • 20 egg yolks
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 6 cloves
  • ½ cup Pisco
  • ½ cup raisins
Instructions
  1. Grease a rectangular baking pan.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  3. Beat the egg yolks until very thick and pale, (when the beater is lifted the yolks should form a ribbon - this should take about 15 minutes).
  4. Pour into the prepared mold and bake for 20 minutes (pierce it with a toothpick - it should come out dry).
  5. In the meantime combine sugar, cinnamon and cloves in a saucepan. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes or until syrupy. Turn off the heat and add Pisco and raisins.
  6. Cut squares on all the surface of the cake with the tip of a knife. Put several raisins on top of the cake.
  7. Pour the syrup over the cake and let it cool completely.
  8. Serve cold.
