This is a very exquisite traditional cake in Chile, but it’s worth noting that in some Latin American countries this is more well known as Pionono, among other names.
The most common filling is dulce de leche (milk caramel), but you can also use a pastry cream (custard) or some chocolate cream, or jam. This is ideal for tea time or even as a dessert.
