Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup (200g) sugar, divided
- 1/3 cup (80ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, whipped with 2 tablespoons sugar, for the top
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 pan. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until pale. Beat in milk and vanilla. Fold in flour. Beat whites to soft peaks, then beat in the remaining sugar. Fold the whites into the batter.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes until a pick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes. Poke holes all over.
- Whisk the three milks and pour slowly over the cake. Chill at least 4 hours. Spread whipped cream on top before serving.
Notes
The cake should look almost too wet. A dry slice means the sponge was too dense or the milk sat on top and ran off. Pour slowly.
