Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add ½ cup sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining ½ cup sugar until pale and thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract and ⅓ cup milk.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites until just combined - be careful not to deflate the whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and vanilla in a bowl.
- Using a fork, poke holes all over the cake. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Just before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake. Dust with ground cinnamon if desired. Cut into squares and serve.
