Preheat the oven and prepare the baking pan.

In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy.

Combine the egg whites with the yolk mixture gently.

Add flour, vanilla, and cream of tartar, folding until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool before soaking it with the three milks mixture.

To prepare the three milks, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, and either media crema, whole milk, or whipping cream.

Poke holes in the cooled cake and pour the three milks mixture over it, allowing it to soak.

For the vanilla cream, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla essence until soft peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake and refrigerate before serving.
