Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (for whipping cream)
  • Fresh fruit or berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Beat eggs and sugar in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture gradually, until well combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool.
  7. Mix together the whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk in a separate bowl.
  8. Poke holes in the cooled cake and pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Whip the heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form and spread it over the top of the cake before serving.
  11. Garnish with fresh fruit or berries, if desired.

Notes

Make sure to let the cake cool completely before pouring the milk mixture over it for better absorption. Use whole milk for creaminess and don’t skip the refrigeration step for enhanced flavor.
