It is a delicious cake with a "special syrup" on it, and a meringue frosting. This cake requires refrigeration, and is served cold.

5 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup self-rising flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Directions:
1 Grease and flour a 8 x 12 inch pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Separate 5 eggs, and beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup sugar slowly to the egg whites, beating constantly. Add the yolks one by one, beating well after each addition. Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla. Sift the flour, and stir it into the egg mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake for 20 minutes, or until done. Cool.
