Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- MILK MIXTURE:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 3 egg yolks, beaten
- 1/4 cup rum, optional
- FROSTING:
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat eggs for 3 minutes. Gradually add sugar and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes or until mixture becomes thick and lemon-colored. Combine flour and baking powder; fold into egg mixture. Spread batter into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack. Poke holes in cake with a skewer, about 1/2 in. apart.
- In a small saucepan, bring the three milks to a boil over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat; gradually stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks. Return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Stir in rum if desired. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
- Slowly pour milk mixture over cake, allowing mixture to absorb into cake. Let stand for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the frosting ingredients over low heat. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until frosting reaches 160°, about 14-18 minutes.
- Pour into a large bowl; beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Spread over cake. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 15 servings.
