• ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp (3g) baking powder
• ½ tsp (3g) salt
• 3 egg whites
• ½ tsp (2ml) white vinegar
• ¼ cup (50g) sugar

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Caramel

1. In a pan over medium-low heat, add ½ cup sugar and 3 tbsp water. Stir constantly until the sugar turns golden brown.
2. Add 2 more tbsp of water, stir well, and pour the caramel into the bottom of a loaf pan. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the Custard

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 whole eggs, 2 egg yolks, and ½ cup sweetened condensed milk until combined.
2. Add 1 cup evaporated milk, ½ tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk again until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. In another bowl, whisk together 2 egg yolks, 3 tbsp oil, and ½ tsp vanilla until combined.
2. Add ¼ cup milk and whisk until smooth.
3. Sift in ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: Make the Meringue

1. In a separate bowl, whisk 3 egg whites with ½ tsp white vinegar.
2. Once frothy, gradually add ¼ cup sugar while whisking until medium peaks form.
3. Gently fold a dollop of the meringue into the cake batter to loosen it up. Then, fold the rest of the meringue into the batter until fully incorporated.

Step 5: Assemble and Bake

1. Strain the custard mixture into the caramel-lined loaf pan, then pour the cake batter on top of the custard.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 45-50 minutes.
3. Let the cake cool completely. Place a plate on top of the pan and carefully flip it over to unmold the cake, allowing the caramel to cascade down.
