Tres Leche (Nicaraguan Three Milks Dessert)
This is the recipe given to me by a Nicaraguan lady in Miami who used to make the dessert for a well-known restaurant.

Cake:
1 c. sugar
1 c. flour
3 eggs, separated
1 t. vanilla
1 t. baking powder
1 t. nutmeg

Beat the egg whites til foamy. Add egg yolks, sugar, flour, milk, vanilla, nutmeg and baking powder. Butter a 9x13 pan and pour in batter. Bake at 350 for 45 mts. When done, take out of oven and pierce all over top with a fork.

Three Milks Punch:
1 can evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
1 c. heavy cream
3 egg yolks (save whites to make meringue)
1 t. vanilla

Blend all ingrd. in blender. Pour slowly on top of cake, it will soak it all up.

Beat egg whites with a little bit of cream of tartar and 1/2 c. sugar added slowly to make a meringue. Spread meringue on top.
