Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 5 large eggs , separated
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 4 cups Whipped Cream , (recipe)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 pan with baking spray or butter and flour it.
- Sift together your flour, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl.
- In a large stand mixer whip your 5 egg whites on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (if you remove the whisk the tip of the egg white stands instead of falling). Transfer the egg whites to a clean large bowl.
- Add the butter and sugar to your stand mixer bowl on medium speed and beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the egg yolks one at a time, then add in the vanilla and milk.
- Add in the flour mixture until just barely combined, then fold into the egg white mixture gently.
- Pour into the baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- While the cake is baking whisk together the heavy cream, condensed milk and evaporated milk.
- Remove from the oven, pierce all over with a fork.
- Pour the milk mixture over the cake, then cover and chill for at least 3-4 hours.
- Top with whipped cream and sift ground cinnamon on top before serving.
