Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, or substitute 1:1 gf flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 5 eggs, (large)
- 1 cup sugar, divided into 3/4 and 1/4 cups
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 9 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup berries, to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F and butter a 9×13 casserole pan. Set up three mixing bowls.
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Separate the egg whites and yolks into the other two bowls.
- Beat the egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until pale yellow (about 2 minutes). Stir in 1/3 cup milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Beat the egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form (about 1 minute). Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar while beating until stiff peaks form (about 1 minute more).
- Combine the egg yolk mixture with the flour mixture gently using a spatula. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
