Palomino/Pedro Ximénez, Cream

Enjoy a creamy and refreshing regular-sized strawberry shake made with ripe strawberries and smooth vanilla ice cream.

Strawberry Shake, regular size

Classic vanilla shake made with real ice cream.

Vanilla Shake

Indulge in our large Vanilla Shake, a creamy blend of rich vanilla ice cream and milk, topped with a delightful swirl of whipped cream.

Vanilla Shake, large size

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Preheat Oven

In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Cream Butter and Sugar

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Combine Mixtures

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Bake the Cakes

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Cool the Cakes

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of cajeta on top of one cake layer.

Prepare the Cajeta Filling

Place the second cake layer on top of the first, pressing down gently to secure.

Stack the Layers

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Whip the Cream

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

Add Sugar and Vanilla

Spread the whipped cream frosting over the top and sides of the stacked cake.

Frost the Cake

Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if desired, and drizzle additional cajeta over the entire cake for a beautiful finish.
