Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and dust with flour.
2
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.
3
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.
6
Mix together condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a medium bowl until well combined.
7
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.
