Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Dulce de Leche, for glazing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and ¾ cup of sugar until light and creamy. Add the milk and vanilla extract and combine well.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Slowly add the remaining ¼ cup of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the egg whites into the batter until no white streaks remain.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a bowl.
- Once the cake is done, allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake using a fork, then pour the milk mixture over the top, allowing it to absorb.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, spread the Dulce de Leche over the top of the cake. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
