1
Make the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a half or full-sized baking pan.

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

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
4
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
6
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Prepare the Milk Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Mix well.
8
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a fork or skewer.

Slowly pour the milk mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
