1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 12 oz. can evaporated milk
1 cup whole milk

Grease and flour a 8" by 12" pan. Preheat the oven to 350°. Separate
the eggs, and beat the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of 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. Blend the sweetened
condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Pour
this
syrup over the cooled cake. For meringue, beat the 3 egg whites to soft
peaks. Gradually add 1 cup sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir in 1
teaspoon vanilla. Frost the cake with meringue.
