Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Beat Eggs

    In another bowl, beat the eggs with the vanilla extract until frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the milk until smooth.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    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.

Milk Mixture Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Milks

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and dulce de leche until well combined.

  2. 7

    Soak the Cake

    Once the cake is baked and slightly cooled, poke holes all over the top using a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it absorbs evenly.

Topping Preparation

  1. 8

    Add Whipped Cream

    Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake evenly.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Sprinkle cinnamon powder and chocolate shavings on top of the whipped cream for garnish.
