Preheat the oven to 180° C. Beat the yolks with ½ cup of sugar and vanilla until they change color. On the other hand, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolks. Add the flour to the egg mixture and fold in gently. Pour into an 18 cm round mold and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked. Cool. For the sauce, mix the three milks and add the brandy. Set aside. Unmold the vanilla cake and place it in a plastic bag. Using a toothpick, poke the entire surface and slowly pour the sauce with a ladle so that it absorbs it. Refrigerate for an hour. Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Decorate the cake and serve.
