Milk Mixture

Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar.

  3. 3

    Combine wet ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.

  4. 4

    Combine wet and dry mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the cake

    Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Milk Mixture Preparation

  1. 7

    Combine milk ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1 cup of whole milk until well combined.

  2. 8

    Soak the cake

    Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top of the cake using a fork. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in.

  3. 9

    Chill the cake

    Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Topping Preparation

  1. 10

    Whip the cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

  2. 11

    Add sugar and vanilla

    Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

  3. 12

    Top the cake

    Spread the whipped cream over the chilled cake evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon on top for garnish.
