Instructions
- 1
Beat the eggs: Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, then gently fold in the egg yolks one by one until the mixture is pale and voluminous.
- 2
Fold in flour: Carefully sift the flour over the egg mixture and fold it in with a spatula, maintaining as much air as possible.
- 3
Bake the sponge: Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- 4
Prepare the milks: In a large pitcher, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
- 5
Soak the cake: Pierce the cooled sponge cake all over with a fork. Slowly pour the three-milk mixture over the top, letting it soak in gradually until the pan is empty.

Chill and top: Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to absorb the liquid. Serve topped with freshly whipped cream.
