  3. Add the egg yolk mixture to the sifted flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
  4. Start by beating your egg whites on high speed, gradually adding 1/4 cup of sugar. Continue beating until stiff, fluffy peaks form.
  5. Gradually fold the beaten egg whites into the light yellow mixture until the batter becomes fluffy, light, and spongy in texture.
  6. Bake the dish in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
  7. While your cake is baking, whisk together whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk with vanilla.
  8. After cooling, use a fork to poke small holes in the cake and then pour the milk mixture over it, spreading it evenly.
  9. Cover the cake in saran wrap and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
  10. The following day, whip together the whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to create a topping. Spread the topping over your cake, decorate with strawberries and cinnamon, and serve cold.
