- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 oz evaporated milk*
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk*

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 9x13" pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In two separate bowls, separate the egg yolks and whites.
- Add 3/4 cup sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and mix on high speed until yolks are a pale yellow, then add the 1/3 cup Medallion Whole Milk and vanilla, stirring to combine.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently until combined, careful not to over-mix.
- Mix the egg whites on high speed. Gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar as you mix, continuing to beat until you have stiff peaks.
- Fold egg whites into batter gently, just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.

- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the top of the cake, making sure to evenly distribute.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour, or overnight, to allow the milk mixture to soak in.
