Three-Milk Cake (Pastel de Tres Leches)

    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoons baking powder
    4 eggs, separated
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1/2 cup milk
    Fresh strawberries and mint leaves for garnish
    Topping (recipe follows)
    Meringue (recipe follows)

  Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking
 pan. Sift flour with baking powder. In large bowl with clean beaters,
 beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar gradually, beating to form
 stiff peaks. Add yolks, 1 at a time. Slowly add flour and milk. Pour
 batter into prepared pan and bake until edges are golden brown, about
 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. Prepare
 Topping. Pour Topping over cake and let sit until all the mixture is
 absorbed, 20 to 30 minutes.
  Prepare Meringue and refrigerate. Before serving, cut cake into
 squares and spread Meringue over each. Garnish as desired with fresh
 berries and mint leaves.

  Topping:
    1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
    1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    2 cups milk
    1 (16-ounce) carton sour cream

  Combine milks and sour cream (do not beat). Use as directed.

  Meringue:
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup water, heated
    3 egg whites

  Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Let sit until sugar is
 dissolved. In clean electric mixer bowl with clean beaters, beat egg
 whites. Slowly pour sugar syrup over egg whites, beating constantly
 until meringue holds stiff peaks. Store in refrigerator. This can be
 served immediately but is best made 24 hours ahead and chilled. The
 meringue will keep, covered, 2 days in the refrigerator.
