Cake

2 cups 00 bread flour

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tsp Baking powder

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

4 large Eggs

1/2 cups Milk

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

Milk Mixture

1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk

1 can (12 oz) Evaporated milk

1 cup Whole milk

Topping

1 cup Coconut shavings

1 cup Whipped cream

Method

Cake Preparation

Prepare the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Milk Mixture Preparation

Prepare the Milk Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk. Whisk until well blended.

Assembly

Assemble the Cake

Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, 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 sit for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the fridge for best results) to absorb the milk.

Add Toppings

Before serving, top the cake with whipped cream and sprinkle coconut shavings over the top.
