    5                    eggs -- separated
    1      cup           granulated sugar
    1      cup           self-rising flour
    1      teaspoon      vanilla
                         MILK SYRUP:
    1      14 oz. can    sweetened condensed milk
    1      12 oz. can    evaporated milk
    1      cup           whole milk
    1      tablespoon    vanilla

      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.
