  • Preheat the oven to 175° C. Grease and flour a square cake pan.
  • Beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Add this flour mixture to the bowl, alternately with the milk. Beat well after each addition.
  • In a glass or metal bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cake mixture using a flexible spatula. Pour the mixture evenly over the greased cake.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix the 2 cups of heavy cream with the evaporated and condensed milks. Pour the mixture over the cake until it can absorb no more. You will likely have some leftover, but that’s normal.
  • Whip the cream and sugar and spread it over the cake. Refrigerate until serving. If desired, you can drizzle some of the remaining milk mixture over individual plates before serving the cake.
