  Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9x13'' pan with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  3. Separate the eggs into two separate bowls.

  4. 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.

  5. Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently just until combined

     (don't over-mix).

  6. 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.

  7. Fold egg whites into the batter gently, just until combined. 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 you tap the cake and it springs back up. 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. Sprinkle cinnamon on top. Enjoy
