Tres Leche Cake

Ingredients:

All purpose flour --   1 cup
Baking Powder      --   1½ tsp
Salt                             --   ¼ tsp
Eggs                           --   5 , separated
Sugar                        --   1 cup(for cake)  + 3 tbsp for icing
Vanilla                     --   1 tsp
Milk                           --   1/3 cup
Evaporated Milk  --   1 can
Sweetened Condensed Milk --   1 can
Heavy Cream         --   ¼ cup + 1 pint for icing

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch pan coating well with butter / spray. I used an 8 inch pan which was 2" deep.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Beat egg yolks with ¾ 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. Add ¼ cup sugar and beat until egg whites are stiff but not dry.

Fold in the egg white mixture into the batter until just combined.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool.

Mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, and ¼ cup heavy cream.

Pierce the surface of the cool cake with a fork. Slowly drizzle the milk mixture. Try to get as much around the edges of the cake as you can.

Let the cake absorb the milk mixture. I prefer it to be chilled - keep in the refrigerator

Whip the remaining heavy cream with sugar until thick and spread it over the cake. Cut into squares and enjoy !!!
