Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

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

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3. Beat Eggs

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Add in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

5. Bake the Cake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Milk Mixture Preparation

6. Combine Milk Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and ground cinnamon until smooth.

Once the cake is cool, poke holes all over the surface with a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it is evenly soaked. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Whipped Cream Topping

8. Make the Whipped Cream

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

9. Top the Cake

Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake evenly.

Garnish

10. Add Seasonal Fruits

Top the whipped cream with a generous amount of mixed seasonal fruits for garnish.
