Method

Serves 2

Beat egg whites to stiff peaks, then gradually beat in sugar and yolks.

Fold in the flour gently and pour into a greased baking pan.

Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Whisk together the three milks, then poke holes across the cooled cake and pour the milk mixture evenly over it.

Refrigerate for a few hours to let the cake fully absorb the milk.

Top with whipped cream before serving.
