Make the caramel. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sugar and water. Melt sugar until golden amber in color. Carefully pour hot syrup into a round baking pan, turning the pans to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
Create the custard: Combine milk, egg yolks, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients until everything is properly distributed. Pour the custard mixture on the baking pan with caramel. Set aside
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Create the egg yolk mixture. In a large bowl, Whisk together flour, half of 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add oil, egg yolks, and milk. Mix well until smooth. Set aside the mixture.
Create the meringue: Beat egg whites with a mixer on high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the cake mixture into the meringue until well blended.
