Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly spray a 9x13 baking pan with a cooking spray.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar until creamy and pale, then add vanilla extract and milk and beat until combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the egg yolk mixture. Mix until smooth.

In another clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with 1/4 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter.

Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake for 28-30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

In a separate bowl, combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk. Mix well.

Once the cake is cooled, poke it all over with a fork or skewer. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake, creating a smooth and creamy layer.

Refrigerate the cake for a few hours or overnight.

Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the moist and flavorful Tres Leches Cake.
