Instructions
CAKE:
1. Grease and flour a 8 x 12 inch pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Separate 5 eggs, and beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add 1 cup sugar to the egg whites, beating constantly. Add the yolks one by one, beating well after each addition. Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla. Sift the flour, and stir it into the egg mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 20 minutes, or until done. Cool.

SYRUP:
3. Blend the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Pour this syrup over the cooled cake until the cake can absorb no more syrup. Usually, you'll have a bit more than half of the syrup remaining.

MERINGUE FROSTING:
4. Beat 3 egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Frost the cake.

5. Refrigerate cake before serving.

6. Garnish with halved berries and mint, if desired. Serve with sliced berries.

7. Serve cold.







NOTES : It is a delicious cake with a special syrup on it, and a meringue frosting. This cake requires refrigeration, and is served cold.
