Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 can (12 oz / 354ml) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings or cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the baking dish.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  5. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the batter in thirds.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. In a bowl, combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream.
  8. Once the cake cools, poke holes all over the surface with a fork. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Spread whipped cream on top of the cake, then garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
