Ingredients 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk, canned
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, canned
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 16 ounces whipped cream
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, garnishing
  • 1 cup strawberries, garnishing

Instructions

  • Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt
  • Add the egg yolks and ¾ cup of sugar to a separate bowl. Mix together until creamy and smooth. Stir in ⅓ cup of milk and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture into the egg yolk mix and stir until just mixed through.
  • Beat the egg whites with an electric or stand mixer on high in a large mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Add the remaining granulated sugar and continue to beat until the peaks stiffen
  • Fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
  • Fill silicone cupcake liners ⅔ full. Place several cupcakes in your air fryer basket and set the air fryer on air fry at 320 degrees F. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until your cupcakes are cooked through. Work in batches until all batter is used.
  • Meanwhile, mix the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and remaining milk in a large bowl.
  • Let the cupcakes cool. Use a toothpick to poke holes in each cupcake and pour two tablespoons of the milk mixture over each cupcake to absorb.
  • Refrigerate the cupcakes for 2 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, spread or pipe the whipped cream onto each cupcake, dust with the ground cinnamon, and garnish with a strawberry slice per cupcake.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
