Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and dust with flour.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Add 1/4 cup sugar gradually, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and sugar is completely dissolved.
- Beat egg yolks in a separate bowl until creamy. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until pale yellow and creamy. Fold into egg whites until incorporated.
- Mix together flour and baking powder in a small bowl until well combined. Fold into egg mixture until incorporated; mix in lime zest. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and keep cake in the oven for 15 minutes more.
- Mix together condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Poke cake several times across the top with a fork. Pour milk mixture over cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow milk mixture to soak in. Spread dulce de leche on top.
