It's basically, meringue (egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract), (egg yolks, vanilla, milk, sugar)
If you add flour, and bake, you have angel food cake. (I think)

I am reminded of Trés Leches cake or three milk cake. It has evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream, hence the name. It's a Mexican restaurant staple.
Tres Leches Cake
1 ¼ cup flour (20 oz by weight)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup sugar
5 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup of whipping cream
1 ½ tsp vanilla
1 shot of rum or brandy (optional)
1¼ cup whipping cream
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp vanilla (clear if available)
Whisk together the dry ingredients.
Beat the eggs one by one on a medium speed for about 45-60 seconds.
Slowly add the sugar until all sugar is incorporated.
Reduce speed and slowly add the melted butter and then the vanilla.
Fold in the flour with a spatula until well combined.
Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes
Cool completely. Perforate the entire top of the cake using a fork.
In a saucepan over low heat, whisk the three milks until warm.
Stir in vanilla and alcohol.
Pour over the cooked cake, spreading evenly.
Refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight.
Whip heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff.
Spread over the chilled cake and return to the cold.
If there is no milk mixture seeping onto the serving plate it was not made correctly. It's not quite a bowl of crème anglaise but there is a kinship.
