Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the pan.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Cream the softened butter until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and whole milk.
  4. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just combined to form a smooth batter.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center.
  6. Prepare the milk mixture by combining the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream.
  7. Soak the cake with the milk mixture after poking holes in the top.
  8. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  9. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.

Notes

The longer the cake chills, the more moist it becomes. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
