Description
A delightful sponge cake soaked in a rich mixture of three types of milk, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar (for whipping cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipping cream)
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Mix the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream in a separate bowl until combined.
- Poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake using a fork and pour the milk mixture evenly over the cake.
- Beat the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread this whipped cream over the soaked cake.
- Chill the cake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve chilled and dust with ground cinnamon before enjoying.
Notes
Ensure you poke enough holes in the cake for better absorption of the milk mixture. This cake tastes even better when made a day in advance.
