Ingredients

Three Milks Mixture

Whipped Topping

Garnish (optional)

Preparation

Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. Beat Eggs

In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

4. Combine Ingredients

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

5. 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

6. Combine the Milks

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

7. 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

8. Whip the Cream

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

9. Top the Cake

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the soaked cake. You can also pipe the whipped cream for a decorative effect.

Garnish

10. Add Garnish

Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the whipped cream and add fresh strawberries if desired.
