Cake and Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Cake

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

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Add the flour mixture to the eggs and mix until just combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Milk Mixture

    While the cake is baking, mix the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a bowl.

  6. 6

    Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Poke holes all over the cake using a fork or skewer and slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb.

  8. 8

    Make the Whipped Cream

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

  9. 9

    Spread the whipped cream over the soaked cake and top with toasted coconut flakes and drizzle caramel sauce.
