1 tsp. baking powder

Add egg white mixture to cake batter--stir to mix. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 x 13 cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes--test with a toothpick for doneness. Cool the cake for 20 minutes. Use a toothpick or a large meat fork to poke holes all over the cake, then cool the cake to room temperature. In a bowl add whole milk, Eagle milk and Carnation milk--stir to mix. Carefully pour the milk mixture evenly over the top of the cake so it soaks down into the holes. In a mixer add whipping cream, 1 cup white sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla--beat on low until mixed, them beat on medium speed until thick. Spread the mixture over the top of the cake. Refrigerate until cold. Keep refrigerated.
