Tres Leches Cake!

For the cake:
1 c. flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
5 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
1/3 c. milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 c. heavy cream
fresh berries

For the icing:
1 pt. heavy cream
 3 T. sugar

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.  Separate eggs.  Beat egg yolks with 3/4 c. sugar on high until yolks are pale yellow.  Stir in milk and vanilla.  Pour egg mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently until combined.  Beat egg whites on high until soft peaks form.  Pour in remaining 1/4 c. sugar and beat until stiff.  Fold egg whites into the batter gently until combined.  Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until cake is set.  Turn cake onto a plate and let cool.  Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream in a small container.  When cake is cool, pierce the surface with a fork several times.  Drizzle all but 1 cup of the milk mixture over the cake, especially around the edges.  Allow the cake to absorb the milk for 30 minutes.  Whip 1 pt. heavy cream with 3 T. sugar until thick.  Spread whipped cream over the cake and top with fresh berries.
