- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

directions
- Let egg whites stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Coat a 13x9 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat egg yolks on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar and butter. Stir in milk and vanilla. Sift flour and baking powder; gradually add to yolk mixture and mix well(batter will be thick).
- In a small mixing bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually fold into the batter.
- Spread evenly into prepared dish. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Place on a wire rack.
- In a large saucepan, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk and half and half. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Cool slightly.
- Cut cake into 15 pieces, leaving cake in the baking dish. Poke holes in the cake with a skewer. Slowly pour a third of the milk syrup over the cake, allowing syrup to be absorbed into the cake. Repeat twice. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Top each piece with whipped topping and strawberry.
