Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 pan. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. In another bowl, beat yolks with sugar until thick. Fold in milk and vanilla, then flour and baking powder. Gently fold in egg whites.

2

Pour batter into the pan and bake 22-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

3

Mix the three milks together. Poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

Tip: The cake will look like it's swimming in milk at first. It absorbs everything. Be patient and let it soak.

4

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to stiff peaks. Spread over the soaked cake. Dust with cinnamon. Serve cold.
