Ingredients
- 6 eggs, separated
- ½ cup icing sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g flour
- 100 ml milk
Three milk custard
- 1 can (375 g) evaporated milk
- 1 can (395 g) condensed milk
- 125 ml milk
- ¼ tsp salt
Whipped cream
- 600 ml thickened cream
- ¼ cup icing sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Cooling: 1–2 hours
Refrigeration: minimum 4 hours
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 175°C. Place the egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk to soft peaks. Add the icing sugar and continue to whisk until the egg whites are firm and glossy. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract to the stand mixer bowl (you don’t need to wash the bowl) and whisk until the yolks are pale, doubled in size and hold a ribbon.
- Add the whisked yolks to the whites and combine gently with a whisk. Sift the flour over the egg mixture and fold in the flour and add the milk. Fold to combine the ingredients to a light batter. Pour the batter into a greased 23 cm springform cake tin. Bake the cake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin to room temperature.
- Combine the ingredients for the three milk custard and mix well. Remove the cake from the tin and place on a serving plate. Use a fork to poke holes all over the cake and pour the custard over. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- When ready to serve, whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla to soft peaks. Spread the cream over the cake and serve.
