Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Beat egg yolks with 3/4 cup sugar until pale. Mix in milk and vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into batter.
Pour batter into prepared dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
Poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, and strawberry puree. Pour evenly over the cake.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries before serving.
