Time 55m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar, divided
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/3 cup nonfat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk
1 cup fat-free half-and-half
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
15 tablespoons frozen light whipped dessert topping
15 fresh strawberries
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Coat a 13x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar and butter. Stir in milk and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder; gradually add to yolk mixture and mix well(batter will be thick).
  • In a small mixing bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually fold into the batter.
  • Spread evenly into prepared dish. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Place on a wire rack.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk and half and half. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool slightly.
  • Cut cake into 15 pieces, leaving cake in the baking dish. Poke holes in the cake with a skewer. Slowly pour a third of the milk syrup over the cake, allowing syrup to be absorbed into the cake. Repeat twice. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Top each piece with whipped topping and strawberry.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.
