Zesty Lemon Drizzle Cake vs Trileçe (Three Milk Cake)

Both cakes rely on milk, sugar, eggs and baking powder, yet they use them very differently. The Lemon Drizzle Cake creams butter with sugar, adds just two tablespoons of milk to the batter, and finishes with lemon juice and sugar poured over the hot, pierced loaf for a zesty, sticky top. Trileçe instead whips eggs and sugar into an airy, butter-free sponge, then soaks it in a generous mix of whole milk, cream and evaporated milk before chilling. A deep amber caramel layer crowns it, making it a cool, moist, milky dessert rather than a bright, tangy one.
