TRES LECHES BIZCOCHO CAKE

INGREDIENTS

5 eggs
1 c. self-rising flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 c. sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup milk

COOKING DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat oven 350F degrees.

Grease and flour a 8 x 12 pan. Separate the eggs. Place the yolks in a small bowl. Beat the egg whites in a separate clean bowl, slowly adding inwhile beating.

Add the yolks in one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Sift flour and stir into the beaten egg mixture. Once the flour is added, do not overbeat to prevent a tough texture in the cake.

Pour Batter into prepared pan, level with the back of a wet spoon or spatula and bake for 20 minutes or until cake tests done (insert a wooden toothpick in center and it will come out nearly clean).

Allow the cake to cool.

Stir the 3 milks together (sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and regular milk) with the tablespoon of vanilla extract.
