Description
This is easy to prepare and takes maximum 40 minutes. It serves about 12 people.
== Ingredients ==
===Cake===
* 9 eggs (room temperature)
* 1 1/2cups of Sugar
* 12 tablespoons of butter (softened)
* 2 cups of all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2teaspoons of baking powder
* 1 cup of milk
* 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
* 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar
===Three milks===
* 2 cups of heavy cream
* 1 five-ounce can (5/8cup) of evaporated milk
* 1 14-ounce can of Sweetened condensed milk
===Icing===
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 1/3cup sugar
==Directions==
# Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
# Separate egg yolks and whites, keeping whites at room temperature.
# In bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until pale yellow and fluffy.
# Add egg yolks and beat until fluffy again, 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high speed.
# In a separate bowl combine flour and baking powder.
# In a third bowl mix milk and vanilla
# Alternately add the flour mixture and the milk mixture to the butter mixture (a fourth at a time) until all are combined.
# Beat until smooth after each addition.
# Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form and, using a large spatula, gently but thoroughly fold into batter.
# Grease bottom of a 9- by 13-inch metal baking pan.
# Pour in batter and bake for approximately 25 minutes, until golden brown.
# Allow to cool. (May also be baked in an 11.5- by 17.5-inch sheet pan for 20 minutes; this size rises very evenly, helpful for inexperienced cooks.)
===Milk===
# Stir the three milks together thoroughly; do not beat. Do not refrigerate canned milks before using.
===Icing===
# Whip cream sugar together until stiff.
# When cake is cool, slice or peel off the thin top crust.
# Ice the sides first, creating a small lip on top to catch the milk mixture.
# Pour milk mixture evenly over top of cake (if necessary, poke holes in cake with a knife or toothpick to facilitate soaking; you will probably need only 3/4ths of mixture).
# Finish icing top.
# Refrigerate.
