Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Milk Mixture:
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
For the Whipped Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until thick and pale. Gradually add the sugar, mixing well. Stir in milk and vanilla.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture until combined. Pour batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Then poke holes all over the top using a fork or skewer.
- In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk or cream. Slowly pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to soak.
- Before serving, whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled cake.
- Optional: Sprinkle with cinnamon or garnish with fresh fruit.
