Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 F). Grease and flour a round mold about 25 cm in diameter. Sift the flour together with the baking powder.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add the sugar and beat until peaks form. Then, add the yolks one at a time. Reduce the mixer speed and add one third of the flour and one third of the milk. Repeat the process until all the flour and all the milk are incorporated, and then add the vanilla.
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and unmold. Cut the cake into three horizontal layers.
In another bowl, mix the evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream. Add the brandy if desired. Distribute one third of the milk mixture over the first layer of the cake, place the second layer on top, and cover it with one third of the mixture. Place the last layer on top and soak it with the remaining milk mixture.
Serve with melted cajeta on top.
