A little Hawaiian cake

I just had this yesterday and it is sooooooo dang good!  It is similar to BTS cake but a tropical version.

Cake:
6 egg whites
6 egg yokes
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
With electric beaters, beat egg whites until fluffy, then while beating add one egg yoke in at a time. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in small bowl. slowly beat flour ingredients into egg mixture. Pour into buttered and floured 9x13 in pan. Bake 350 for 18-20 min.

Milk Mixture:
12 oz can evaporated milk
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
fill  emptied sweetened cond. milk can 3/4 full with canned coconut milk (about 1/2 can of coconut milk)
1/4 tsp almond extract
3/4 tsp coconut extract
3/4 cup sugar
When cake comes out of oven let cool and start your milk mixture. With electric beaters mix milks together then add sugar and extracts. With a fork poke holes over entire cake then pour milk mixture over cake. Let the cake soak up milk, and transfer to fridge when cooled enough. It takes about 2 hours for the milk to soak in. It can be quite wet, which I liked, but you can cut back on the milks by 1/4 if you want. To me, the gooier the better.  Before serving add a small well drained can crushed pineapple on top of cake then add cool whip on top of that with shredded, sweetened coconut and chopped macadamia nuts on top of the cool whip. Best if served cold and on beach in Hawaii with someone special, or on a Tuesday night!  Mmmmmm! Sorry no pic.
