Ingredients

For the cake

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the milk mixture

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 cup whole milk

For the topping

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk them together.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, stirring until they are just blended together. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, combine the three milks in a separate bowl.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, poke it all over with a fork or skewer.
  • Pour the milk mixture evenly over the warm cake. Allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until they form stiff peaks.
  • Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
