Cake
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 5 large eggs separated

- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Milk Mixture
- 1 can evaporated milk 12 oz

Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until pale yellow. Stir in milk and vanilla. Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter gently until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. Pour over the cooled cake.

Notes:
For best results, refrigerate the cake overnight to allow the milk mixture to fully soak in.
