Step 1

Heat the oven to 350° F (177° C). Lightly butter a 5x5-inch baking dish or use an oil cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix flour and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg white until foamy. With the mixer still running, gradually add the sugar and whip to soft peaks., about 3 minutes.

Step 4

What are soft peaks?: When you lift the beaters or balloon whisk out of the egg white, the peaks should be soft and will curl downwards and melt back into themselves almost immediately.

Step 5

Beat in the egg yolk, then add half of the flour mixture followed by the milk, and finally the remaining flour. Blend well after each flour and milk addition.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake for 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly on a baking rack for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Pierce the cake all over with the tines of a fork or a thick skewer.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and limoncello. Pour over the cake. Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 5 hours or overnight.

Step 10

Using an electric hand mixer or a balloon whisk, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and cinnamon on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Step 11

As you whip the cream, sugar and cinnamon together, you'll start to see the mixture increasing in volume. The cream will begin to thicken, become smooth, and leave trails in the mixture. When you lift the beaters or take the whisk out of the cream, the peaks are soft and will curl downwards and melt back into themselves almost immediately.

Step 12

When you're ready to enjoy the cake, top with whipped cream.
