Cake Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vanilla extract and milk. Mix well.

4

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

5

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6

Prepare the Milk Mixture

In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream.

7

Soak the Cake

Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool slightly before poking holes all over the top with a fork. Pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

8

Chill the Cake

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

9

Serve

Before serving, drizzle chocolate syrup over the top. Enjoy with Aguardente Fim de Século.
