Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
Three Milks Mixture
Combine the Milks
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk until smooth.
Soak the Cake
Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top using a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake absorb the milk for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for best results.
Whipped Topping
Whip the Cream
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
Top the Cake
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the soaked cake. You can also pipe the whipped cream for a decorative effect.
Garnish
Add Garnish
Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the whipped cream and add fresh strawberries if desired.
