These latte macchiato cake bars feature cocoa sponge cake split into two layers, a filling made with butter, powdered milk, sugar, and cream cheese, and two layers of small sponge cookies soaked in coffee and liqueur. Each cookie layer is dusted with cocoa powder.
The alcohol in the liqueur does not evaporate; simply leave it out when serving children. Chill the cake bars for 12 hours.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Bake the sponge cake
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, gradually adding the sugar. Keep beating as you add the egg yolks one at a time, followed by the water mixed with the oil. Combine the flour, baking powder, and sifted cocoa powder, then gently fold into the egg mixture. Pour the batter into a smaller baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 35 minutes. Let cool.
Make the filling
Beat the softened butter, then gradually add the sugar and powdered milk, alternating with the cream cheese, until smooth.
Assemble the layers
Mix the coffee with the liqueur. Split the cake horizontally into two layers. Drizzle the bottom layer with a little of the coffee and liqueur mixture, spread with one-third of the filling, arrange coffee-soaked sponge cookies on top, and dust with cocoa powder.
Finish assembling
Spread a thin layer of filling over the second cake layer and place it filling-side down on the cookies. Spread the remaining filling on top, add another layer of coffee-soaked sponge cookies, and dust everything with cocoa powder.
Chill
Refrigerate the cake bars for 12 hours and take them out at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tip: Add the powdered milk to the softened butter a spoonful at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition for a smooth filling with no graininess.
