Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch pan; sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt
Separate the egg; beat the yolks with 150g sugar until pale, stir in milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract; in a separate bowl, beat whites with remaining sugar to stiff peaks
Fold the yolk mixture into the whites, then fold in the dry ingredients; pour into the pan and bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean
Pierce the warm cake all over with a fork, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and 60g milk, and pour slowly over the cake
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight) to allow full absorption
Whip the heavy cream with icing-sugar and remaining vanilla extract to stiff peaks, spread over the chilled cake, and garnish
