Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F (175º C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in vanilla. Sift together flour and baking powder. Add flour mixture alternately with the milk; beat well after each addition. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until whites form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter using a rubber spatula. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 min. or until a toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Allow to cool. In a small bowl, stir together 2 cups heavy cream, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Pour the mixture over the cake until it won't absorb any more. You may have 1/3 to 1/4 left over. That's okay. Combine the whipped cream and sugar, spread over soaked cake. Refrigerate cake until serving. Serves: 24 Prep: 30 min. Cook: 25
