Add the flour mixture in 3 increments until just combined, do not over mix.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and then fold them into the cake batter.

Spray a high-sided loaf pan with pan spray.

Pour batter into the cake pan and bake for 35 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and poke with a skewer about 25 times, evenly spaced.

Allow it to cool for 1 hour.

Mix together the heavy cream, Irish cream, and evaporated milk.

Once cooled, pour the “3 milks” over the cake and allow it to soak in completely for about 1 hour.

Slice and garnish with cherries and brown butter frosting.
