Steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 180C. Lightly spray a 9×13” pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- 2
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Separate the eggs into two separate bowls.
- 3
Add 3/4 cup sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and mix on high speed until yolks are pale yellow. Add the 1/3 cup milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
- 4
Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently with a spatula just until combined.
- 5
Use electric beaters to beat the egg whites on high speed. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar as you mix and continue beating until stiff peaks.
- 6
Fold egg whites into the batter gently using a spatula, just until combined.
- 7
Pour batter into prepared pan. Make sure to smooth it into an even layer so your baked cake doesn’t have divots in it.
- 8
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow cake to cool completely.
- 9
Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk in a small bowl. Once the cake has cooled use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
- 10
Slowly pour the milk mixture over the the top of the cake, making sure to pour near the edges and all around.
- 11
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour or overnight, to allow it to soak up the milk.
- 12
In the meantime, whip the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks. Smooth over the top of the cake.
- 13
Sprinkle chocolate shavings. Serve with fresh sliced strawberries, if desired.
