👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1.5 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 0.5 cup milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
💡 プロのコツ: Ensure yolks are well beaten.
4
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the 6 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter.
💡 プロのコツ: Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
⏱️ 30-35 minutes
7
While the cake is baking, prepare the milk mixture: In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, and 1 cup heavy cream.
8
Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately poke holes all over the top with a fork or skewer.
💡 プロのコツ: Poking holes allows the milk mixture to penetrate.
9
Slowly pour the milk mixture over the hot cake, allowing it to soak in completely. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
⏱️ 2-3 hours
💡 プロのコツ: Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, for best results.
10
Optional Meringue Topping: Beat the 3 egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 0.25 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Spread over the chilled cake.
💡 プロのコツ: Alternatively, top with whipped cream.
11
Slice and serve chilled.
