Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Beat 6 egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy; set yolks aside. Gradually beat in sugar until mixture holds soft peaks. Beat in flour gradually, then beat in milk, reserved egg yolks, melted butter, 4 teaspoons vanilla extract, and baking powder, beating in each ingredient thoroughly before adding the next. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
- Bake in preheated oven until cake is browned and crusty on top, no more than 30 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for about 10 minutes before gently removing cake to finish cooling.
- Whisk sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and half-and-half in a bowl. Pour half the 3-milk mixture into a pan deeper and longer than the cake. Lay the cake into the milk mixture. Use a fork to score deep lines into the top of the cake and pour remaining 3-milk mixture over cake, allowing the mixture to soak in.
- Beat cream cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl with electric mixer until soft and fluffy; gradually beat in cream until frosting is thick and spreadable. Spread over the cake.

Steps:
- 1. CREAM TOPPING: 1. In a regular blender, combine the all of the "milks" and blend on high speed.
- 2. CAKE: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Lightly grease and flour a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. 3. In a stainless steel bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whipping attachment, beat the eggs whites on low speed until soft peaks form. Add the sugar slowly and gradually with the mixer running and peak to stiff. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after you have added each. 4. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and add egg mixture, and alternate the milk. (Make sure you do this rather quickly so that you do not lose the volume). Add the vanilla. 5. Bake until golden for about 25 minutes. 6. Remove the cake from the oven and while it's still warm, pour the cream topping mixture over it. 7. Let sit and cool to room temperature about 30 minutes. 8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, for about 4 hours. Note: You can make this up to 1 day in advance and chilling in refrigerator overnight is best.
- 3. THE ICING: 1. In a saucepan combine the water and sugar, bringing to a boil. Reduce the heat and stir to dissolve sugar. 2. Cook until the mixture reaches the soft ball like stage, 235 to 240 degrees F (use a candy thermometer to be accurately sure). 3. Remove from the heat. 4. In a medium stainless steel bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk to soft peaks. While beating, add the hot syrup in a steady stream. Beat until all of the syrup has been incorporated. 5. The mixture will start cooling and a glossy icing will form.
- 4. TO ASSEMBLE: 1. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread the icing evenly on the top of the cake. Serve cold. Note: You can add fresh fruit like mango, strawberries or papaya to the top to make it your own. ENJOY!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly oil and line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin.
- Put the egg whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Beat with an electric hand whisk until foamy, about 3 mins. Keep mixing while you add 150g of the sugar, a spoonful at a time, until thick and glossy.
- In another bowl, mix the egg yolks, remaining sugar and vanilla (no need to clean the beaters first) for 2 mins, or until pale and foamy. Add the flour, baking powder and milk to the egg yolks, and use a spatula to fold everything together.
- Add a large spoonful of egg white to the cake mix, beat together to loosen the mixture, then gently fold through the remaining egg whites with a large metal spoon (being careful not to over-stir so you don't knock out too much air), until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour into the tin, smooth the top and bake for 40-45 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Mix together the evaporated milk, condensed milk and 3 tbsp of the cream.
- Leave the cake to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then ease a knife around the sides. Poke holes over the surface with a skewer, then pour over half the milk mixture. After 5 mins or so, most of it should have soaked into the cake. Leave for another 5 mins, then transfer to a plate and pour over some of the remaining milk until it starts to leak a little. (Any leftover milk that won't soak into the cake can be served on the side.) Leave to cool.
- Whip the remaining cream and icing sugar together until holding soft peaks. Spread the cream over the cake and sprinkle with a little cinnamon. Can be made and chilled a day ahead. Serve in squares with any remaining soaking milk.
