The cake is then topped with a whipped cream frosting, making it a heavenly dessert that is perfect for any occasion.Ingredients
The cake:- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 can evaporated milk (12oz)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14oz)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract. Step 4: Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Step 6: While the cake is baking, combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk in a large bowl. Step 7: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and poke holes all over the top of the cake with a fork. Step 8: Pour the milk mixture over the cake, making sure to cover the entire surface. Let the cake cool to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Step 9: To make the frosting, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Step 10: Once the cake is chilled, spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Serve and enjoy!Nutrition
