Method-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan liberally until coated. Use an 8 inch pan which was 2" deep.
-
Sift and combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
-
Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar on high speed until yolks are pale yellow.
-
Stir in milk and vanilla. Pour egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir very gently until combined.
-
Beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form.
-
With the mixer on, pour in remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff but not dry. See the cute peaks?
-
Fold egg white mixture into the batter very gently until just combined.
-
Pour into prepared pan and spread to even out the surface.
-
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool.
-
Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a small pitcher.
-
When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times.
-
Slowly drizzle all but about 1 cup of the milk mixture - try to get as much around the edges of the cake as you can.
-
Allow the cake to absorb the milk mixture for 30 minutes.
-
A trick if you find that its very soggy inspite of not pouring in all the milk mixture - let it sit in the fridge for some time.
-
To ice the cake, whip 1 pint heavy cream with 3 tablespoons of sugar until thick and spreadable.
-
Spread over the surface of the cake.
